Explanation of Minor Shirk
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
I testify that we are burdened with the other shirk; what is it that the Prophet was burdened with that causes harm?
Answer:
Its definition is what is named shirk but does not reach the level of major shirk. It is named shirk in the texts, but it does not take one out of the religion. This is minor shirk, such as a little bit of showing off (riya') and such as swearing by other than Allah. "What Allah willed and you willed" with the conjunction "and" is from minor shirk. [Allah knows best]. But it does not take one out of the faith, which is why it is called the lesser. Yes.
