Does a sympathetically compelled action which conforms with duty comply with the categorical

imperative to act from duty?

No, a sympathetically compelled action cannot conforms with duty comply with the categorical imperative to act from duty.

Explanation:

Emmanuel Kant teaches us moral ethics through his writing. He mentions that everything happens according to the law of nature and laws of freedom are framed considering the fact how everything ought to happen. He says that respect is an inner feeling.

Genuine moral conduct should be sympathetic but also sympathy should not be the driving force behind the act of categorical imitativeness. Like other feelings sympathy is a fellow feeling that too it is more specific on how the person is close to us.
