Can some practical kufr (disbelief) be major shirk (associating partners with Allah), such as prostrating to idols or slaughtering for other than Allah?

The questioner:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. The questioner asks: Can some practical kufr (disbelief) be major shirk (associating partners with Allah), such as prostrating to idols or slaughtering for other than Allah?

The Shaykh:
I seek refuge in Allah. This is minor shirk (associating partners with Allah). Prostrating to idols is minor shirk, and slaughtering for other than Allah is minor shirk. This is major shirk. Yes. What is the question?

The questioner:
May Allah preserve you. He asks: Can some practical kufr (disbelief) be major shirk (associating partners with Allah), such as prostrating to idols or slaughtering for other than Allah?

The Shaykh:
This is major practical kufr (disbelief). It is practical, but it is major kufr. Not every act is so; not every practical kufr is minor. Some of it is major. Yes.
