Does Allah forgive the one who commits minor shirk if he dies before repenting?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He asks: Is minor shirk (associating partners with Allah) forgiven without repentance?
Answer:
The apparent meaning of the verse is that it is not forgiven; that the person who commits it must be punished. However, it is not like the punishment of the one who commits major shirk. He is punished according to his degree and then comes out of the Fire, unlike the one who commits major shirk, who remains in the Fire eternally.
