When do deeds become scattered dust

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
We conclude this session with a question in which the questioner asks: When do deeds become scattered dust?

Answer:
It is rendered void by shirk (associating partners with Allah). If a person performs deeds while committing major shirk (associating partners with Allah), his deeds become scattered dust, as He, the Exalted, said:
of those who disbelieve in their Lord is [that] their deeds are like ashes which the wind blows forcefully on a stormy dayالَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا بِرَبِّهِمْ أَعْمَالُهُمْ كَرَمَادٍ اشْتَدَّتْ بِهِ الرِّيحُ فِي يَوْمٍ عَاصِفٍ
[Ibrahim 14:18]
He, the Exalted and Majestic, said:
And We will regard what they have done of deedsوَقَدِمْنَا إِلَىٰ مَا عَمِلُوا مِنْ عَمَلٍ
[Al-Furqan 25:23]
meaning the disbelievers
and make them as dust dispersed.فَجَعَلْنَاهُ هَبَاءً مَّنثُورًا
[Al-Furqan 25:23]
