Dying upon a major sin: Is it dying upon disbelief and shirk?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
This questioner says: Is dying upon a major sin or a transgression, may Allah protect us, considered dying upon disbelief and shirk?
Answer:
No, my brother. If the major sin is shirk, then he dies upon disbelief and shirk. But if the major sin is less than shirk, this is open sinfulness; this is open sinfulness, not disbelief. He is under the will of Allah: if Allah wills, He will forgive him, and if He wills, He will punish him for it,[An-Nisa 4:48].
The presenter:
May Allah reward you.

Indeed, Allah does not forgive association with Him, but He forgives what is less than that for whom He wills
