Question:
He says: In the saying[An-Nisa 4:47-48], does minor shirk fall under it? And if it does, is its practitioner considered to be eternally abiding in the Fire of Hell?
Answer:
Minor shirk falls under it, but the practitioner of minor shirk does not abide in the Fire eternally. This is the difference between it and major shirk: the practitioner of major shirk abides in the Fire eternally, while the practitioner of minor shirk does not. The practitioner of major shirk exits the religion, whereas the practitioner of minor shirk does not exit the religion. Yes.
The presenter:
May Allah reward you,
He says: In the saying
(47) O you who were given the Scripture, believe in what We have sent down [to Muhammad], confirming that which is with you, before We obliterate faces and turn them toward their backs or curse them as We cursed the sabbath-breakers. And ever is the decree of Allah accomplished. (48) Indeed, Allah does not forgive association with Him, but He forgives what is less than that for whom He wills. And he who associates others with Allah has certainly fabricated a tremendous sin.
