Grammatically, yes, but the meaning is obscure.

Suppose he asks people for money. Then "what he asks people for" is money.

So the sentence says He is not doing money. That doesn't make sense.

Maybe you need to explain in greater detail

For example, he asks people for respect, but he is not respectful to people, so he is not doing what he asks people for.


Is it correct?
