Question:
May Allah reward you. Honorable Shaykh, this questioner says: Does the statement[An-Nisa 4:48] include major shirk (associating partners with Allah) and minor shirk?
Answer:
It appears so. Yes, it appears that even for minor shirk, one must be punished for it, but not in the same way as the punishment for major shirk. Major shirk results in eternal abode in the Fire, whereas for minor shirk, one is punished according to its degree and then exits the Fire. Yes.
