Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
But this story indicates that a Muslim, or even a scholar, may fall into types of shirk (associating partners with Allah) without being aware of them?
The Shaykh:
Yes, this story indicates that a Muslim may fall into some shirk without knowing it, but if he is alerted and it is explained to him, he retracts and abandons that thing, then it does not harm him if he abandons it; it does not harm him. Yes, he is excused by ignorance in such a case. Yes.
