The questioner:
May Allah reward you, Honorable Shaykh. This questioner says: Are there types of shirk (associating partners with Allah) in obedience, some of which expel one from the religion, and some of which do not?

The Shaykh:
If he considers permissible what Allah has forbidden because a scholar or a ruler has considered it permissible, and the one who obeys knows that the one he follows has considered permissible what Allah has forbidden, this is major shirk (associating partners with Allah). But if he obeys him while not knowing this, he is excused.

The presenter:
May Allah reward you.

The Shaykh:
If he knows that he has considered permissible what Allah has forbidden and he obeys him, it becomes major shirk (associating partners with Allah). But if he follows him but does not know, or thinks that he is on the right path, he is excused due to ignorance. Yes.
