Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, is the one who takes his own desires as his god considered an associate of partners with Allah (mushrik) for doing so?
Answer:
And whoever worships other than Allah and associates partners with Allah, then he is an associate of partners with Allah and a disbeliever. But if he takes his desire as his god in matters less than that, in matters less than shirk (associating partners with Allah) and less than kufr (disbelief), then this is an error and misguidance, and it is open to repentance. Yes.
