Question:
The Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, says: Does minor shirk fall under the statement of Allah the Exalted:
Indeed, Allah does not forgive association with Himإِنَّ اللَّهَ لَا يَغْفِرُ أَن يُشْرَكَ بِهِ
[An-Nisa 4:48]
?

Answer:
That is the apparent view, yes. However, he is not punished with the punishment of the one who commits major shirk; he will not remain in the Fire forever. He will be punished in the Fire according to the measure of his sin, and then he will be brought out of the Fire, yes.
