How it is used
The root's core sense is a thing being right or well-suited; muwāfaqah is the everyday word for formal or personal agreement (consent, matching views). A separate branch of the family, built around tawfīq, is classical/religious — God 'according' a person success or right guidance.

The criterion for the scale is not noise nor the number of viewers, but sincerity of intention and adherence to guidance.
وَمُوَافَقَةُ and adherence to
'and the accord with' — 'wa' plus 'muwafaqa', a second nominative, head of an 'of' pairing with 'guidance'.
فَلَا بُدَّ مِنْ إِخْلَاصِ النِّيَّةِ فِي الْعَمَلِ وَمُوَافَقَتِهَا لِمَرَادِ الشَّارِعِ
Sincerity of intention in action is necessary, and it must conform to the Lawgiver's intent.
وَمُوَافَقَتِهَا and its conformity
Three layers stack here: 'wa-' adds this as a second requirement parallel to the sincerity just named; the core is an action-noun 'conforming'; and '-ha' is an attached feminine possessor reaching back to that sincerity/intention, so 'its conforming' really means the intention's agreement with the Lawgiver's aim.
