Question:
May Allah reward you, Honorable Shaykh. This questioner says: In the saying of Allah the Exalted[An-Nisa 4:48], does this verse include the one who commits minor shirk? And what is the fate of the one who commits shirk? He says: In the saying of Allah [An-Nisa 4:48], does this verse include the one who commits minor shirk, and what is the fate of the one who commits minor shirk in the Hereafter?
Answer:
There is no disagreement among the scholars regarding their first opinion, which is that he will be punished; he must be punished, but he will not remain in the Fire forever. His shirk will not be forgiven, and he will be punished, but he will not remain in the Fire forever. The second opinion is that he is like the people of minor sins: if his good deeds outweigh his bad deeds, he will be saved, and if his bad deeds outweigh his good deeds, he will perish.

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