Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, does Allah (Glorified and Exalted is He) forgive minor shirk, or is it...
Answer:
This is a matter of disagreement among the scholars.[An-Nisa 4:48]. This includes both major and minor shirk. Some scholars say that it is forgiven. It is forgiven. But the stronger position, and Allah knows best, is that it is not forgiven, but its perpetrator is not tormented and made to remain in the Fire forever, like major shirk. Rather, he is tormented and then brought out of the Fire. Yes.
