The Meaning of Shirk Mentioned in the Qur'an
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
Honorable Shaykh, I seek Allah's forgiveness. It is unclear to me what some scholars say, namely that when shirk (associating partners with Allah) is mentioned in the Qur'an, it refers only to major shirk. What is your guidance?
The Shaykh:
Who said this? It includes both major and minor shirk.[An-Nisa 4:48]
The questioner:
"Do not associate anything with Him" is a general statement, meaning it is not specific to major shirk. There must be evidence for this.
The Shaykh:
Yes.

The Shaykh:
Yes.
