Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, does the one who commits minor shirk (associating partners with Allah) remain in the Fire forever, like the one who commits major shirk?
Answer:
No. The well-known opinion among the majority is that he is under the will of Allah, like the other major sins. The other opinion is that he must be punished, but he will not remain in the Fire forever; he must be punished. This is based on the saying of Allah the Exalted:[An-Nisa 4:48] This includes both major and minor shirk, but he will not remain in the Fire forever like the one who commits major shirk. Yes.
