The ruling on one who commits shirk (associating partners with Allah) out of greed for money without the intention of worship
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
And this person asks: What is the ruling on the one who says that if a man were offered money to slaughter for an idol, or to rub against it, or to prostrate to the sun and moon, and he did so out of greed for money, what is the ruling on the one who says that he is not declared a disbeliever if he did not intend in his heart to worship these things?
Answer:
Allah the Exalted said:[An-Nahl 16:106-107] [An-Nahl 16:107].
So this one who obeys the disbelievers and slaughters for their idols, and participates in their worship out of greed for money, and says, "I believe that what they are upon is false, but I participate with them out of greed for money," this falls under His saying:[An-Nahl 16:107-108] [An-Nahl 16:108].
So his words are not accepted in this matter. This is misguidance, and it is not sufficient for him to say, "I believe in my heart the opposite of that," because whoever displays kufr (disbelief), says the word of kufr, or does the act of kufr willingly, by choice, knowing that it is kufr, and is not coerced, then he is declared a disbeliever, because he has no excuse. Yes.

Answer:
Allah the Exalted said:
(106) Whoever disbelieves in Allah after his belief... except for one who is forced [to renounce his religion] while his heart is secure in faith. But those who [willingly] open their breasts to disbelief, upon them is wrath from Allah, and for them is a great punishment; (107) That is because they preferred the worldly life over the Hereafter and that Allah does not guide the disbelieving people.
مَن كَفَرَ بِاللَّهِ مِن بَعْدِ إِيمَانِهِ إِلَّا مَنْ أُكْرِهَ وَقَلْبُهُ مُطْمَئِنٌّ بِالْإِيمَانِ وَلَٰكِن مَّن شَرَحَ بِالْكُفْرِ صَدْرًا فَعَلَيْهِمْ غَضَبٌ مِّنَ اللَّهِ وَلَهُمْ عَذَابٌ عَظِيمٌ ذَٰلِكَ بِأَنَّهُمُ اسْتَحَبُّوا الْحَيَاةَ الدُّنْيَا عَلَى الْآخِرَةِ وَأَنَّ اللَّهَ لَا يَهْدِي الْقَوْمَand that Allah does not guide the disbelieving people.
وَأَنَّ اللَّهَ لَا يَهْدِي الْقَوْمَ الْكَافِرِينَSo this one who obeys the disbelievers and slaughters for their idols, and participates in their worship out of greed for money, and says, "I believe that what they are upon is false, but I participate with them out of greed for money," this falls under His saying:
(107) That is because they preferred the worldly life over the Hereafter and that Allah does not guide the disbelieving people. (108) Those are the ones over whose hearts and hearing and vision Allah has sealed
ذَٰلِكَ بِأَنَّهُمُ اسْتَحَبُّوا الْحَيَاةَ الدُّنْيَا عَلَى الْآخِرَةِ وَأَنَّ اللَّهَ لَا يَهْدِي الْقَوْمَ الْكَافِرِينَ أُولَٰئِكَ الَّذِينَ طَبَعَ اللَّهُ عَلَىٰ قُلُوبِهِمْ وَسَمْعِهِمْ وَأَبْصَارِهِمْand it is those who are the heedless.
وَأُولَٰئِكَ هُمُ الْغَافِلُونَSo his words are not accepted in this matter. This is misguidance, and it is not sufficient for him to say, "I believe in my heart the opposite of that," because whoever displays kufr (disbelief), says the word of kufr, or does the act of kufr willingly, by choice, knowing that it is kufr, and is not coerced, then he is declared a disbeliever, because he has no excuse. Yes.
