Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, what is the wisdom of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) mentioning false testimony three times in the hadith, even though shirk (associating partners with Allah) is greater than false testimony?
Answer:
Because people are lax regarding false testimony; there is much laxity in it, unlike shirk, for a Muslim does not commit shirk, and a believer does not commit shirk. But a believer may commit false testimony and utter it.
