Question:
Does Allah the Exalted’s saying[An-Nisa 4:48] and similar verses and hadiths include both minor and major shirk (associating partners with Allah), or are they specific to major shirk? Please clarify.
Answer:
The verse is general, yes. The verse is general regarding major shirk, and as for minor shirk, it does not result in eternal abode in the Fire. However, major shirk causes its perpetrator to remain in the Fire eternally, whereas minor shirk results in punishment in the Fire, but not eternal abode in it, just as those who commit major sins are punished but do not remain in it eternally. Yes.
