Correcting the Divisions of Minor Shirk
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you, Honorable Shaykh. You spoke yesterday about minor shirk and divided it into three categories. I hope you will clarify them.
Answer:
We did not say three categories. We said: a category of shirk that is apparent on the tongues, such as swearing by other than Allah, saying "what Allah wills, so-and-so wills," "if not for Allah and you," or a category that is hidden in the heart, which is riya' (showing off in worship), and no one knows it except Allah. Yes, it is hidden shirk. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) called it hidden shirk because no one knows it except Allah. Yes.
