Question:
You mentioned that the scholars (may Allah have mercy on them) differed on whether minor shirk (associating partners with Allah) is forgiven or not. What is the stronger position in this disagreement?
Answer:
The stronger position, and Allah knows best, is that it is not forgiven due to the generality of the verse. However, the person who commits it will not remain in the Fire forever, unlike the person who commits major shirk (associating partners with Allah).
