Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, he says: Do bad deeds erase good deeds, as in[Hud 11:114]?
Answer:
If the bad deeds become shirk (associating partners with Allah), they erase the good deeds[Al-An'am 6:88]. So if the bad deeds are major shirk, major shirk, then they nullify the good deeds. But if the bad deeds are less than major shirk, they do not nullify them; they do not nullify the good deeds. If he has bad deeds and he has good deeds, he is under the will of Allah (Mighty and Majestic). Yes.
