Question:
Ibrahim al-Thubayti asks, may Allah preserve you. He says: In the hadith, the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) was asked:Bulugh al-Maram 16:23 What is the greatest of the sins that take one out of the religion?
Answer:
The greatest of the sins is shirk (associating partners with Allah). Yes. The greatest of the sins is shirk. And it is what takes one out of the religion. Major shirk, major shirk takes one out of the religion, such as calling upon other than Allah, slaughtering for other than Allah, and making vows for other than Allah. This is the major shirk that takes one out of the religion. As for minor shirk, like a little bit of riya' (showing off in worship), this does not take one out of the religion, but it diminishes tawhid (the oneness of Allah). Yes.
The presenter:
May Allah bless you.
