Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. I am confused by the statement of some scholars that when shirk is mentioned in the Qur’an, it refers only to major shirk. What is your guidance?
Answer:
Who said this? It includes major shirk (associating partners with Allah) and minor shirk.[An-Nisa 4:48] And do not associate anything with Him. The one who said it is specific to major shirk must provide evidence for this.

Indeed, Allah does not forgive association with Him
إِنَّ اللَّهَ لَا يَغْفِرُ أَن يُشْرَكَ بِهِ
