Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, is the shirk of intentions and desires of a type that takes one out of the religion?
Answer:
Yes, if it is not accompanied by faith, it expels one from the religion, just as the showing off (riya') of the hypocrites who are[An-Nisa 4:145] those who show off to people and do not remember Allah except a little [An-Nisa 4:142] [An-Nisa 4:142]. So, if riya' is accompanied by faith, it does not expel one from the religion, but it is shirk (associating partners with Allah) and it diminishes faith and tawhid (the oneness of Allah).
