Explaining the Meaning of Hypocrisy and Its Types

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
He says: May Allah reward you, what is hypocrisy?

The Shaykh:
Hypocrisy is displaying good and negating evil. If it is displaying Islam and negating disbelief, it is doctrinal hypocrisy. If it is displaying good while possessing some of the characteristics of the hypocrites, it is minor hypocrisy. Lying comes from the believer, breaking promises comes from the believer, lying in speech comes from the believer. These are among the characteristics of hypocrisy, and this is minor hypocrisy. Showing off in worship comes from the Muslim; this is minor hypocrisy. Yes.

The questioner:
He says: May Allah reward you, what is your share?

The Shaykh:
A believer in appearance and in reality, but some of the characteristics of the hypocrites occur from him. This is minor hypocrisy. Yes.
