It's not how you reheat it, or where you reheat it. It must be piping hot all the way through, and I mean piping hot
"Cooked rice which has been properly cooled and refrigerated or frozen may be reheated by adding one-half cup liquid per quart of cooked rice. Cover and heat thoroughly on top of range or in oven to an internal temperature of 165 degrees F (74 degrees C). Rice should be served immediately. Subsequent leftovers should be discarded."

Well it's up to you but it can give you food poisoning.
The advice from the food standards agency is as follows :
There are a few things to remember when you are storing and reheating cooked rice and grains. This is because the spores of some food poisoning bugs can survive cooking.
If cooked rice or grains are left standing at room temperature, the spores can germinate. The bacteria multiply and produce toxins that can cause vomiting and diarrhoea. Reheating food won't get rid of the toxins.
Therefore, it's best to serve rice and grains when they've just been cooked. If this isn't possible, cool them within an hour after cooking and keep them refrigerated until reheating or using in a cold dish.
You should throw away any rice and grains that have been left at room temperature overnight.
Don't keep cooked rice and grains for longer than two days and don't reheat them more than once. Check the 'use by' date and storage instructions on the label for any cold rice or grain salads that you buy.

NO...bin it!
It would have been ok if you'd put it in the fridge as soon as it was cool...NOT this morning.
And...if re-heated - it must be to a very high temp, not gently.
Rice, if stored/re-heated improperly, develops a type of spore - Bacillus cereus -that is notorious for making people very ill indeed.
