The Difference Between Major Shirk and Minor Shirk

Question:
The questioner asks: What is the difference between major shirk (associating partners with Allah) and minor shirk?

Answer:
You have heard that major shirk is not forgiven by Allah. It is not forgiven by Allah. The one who commits major shirk is eternally in the Fire. As for minor shirk, some scholars hold that it falls under the scope of forgiveness, while others hold that it does not fall under the scope of forgiveness, but its perpetrator is not eternally in the Fire, as the perpetrator of major shirk is. Major shirk takes one out of the religion and invalidates all deeds. Minor shirk does not take one out of the religion, nor does it invalidate all deeds; rather, it only invalidates the specific deed in which it occurred. Yes.
