The Difference Between Major and Minor Shirk
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, is there a criterion that distinguishes between major shirk and minor shirk?
Answer:
Or rather, the one that takes a person out of the fold of Islam, causes him to abide eternally in the Fire, and makes his blood lawful to be shed. The other type of shirk does not take a person out of the fold of Islam; and even if he is punished, he will not abide eternally in the Fire, and his blood is not made lawful to be shed.
