The Shaykh:
I want you to read the issues of this chapter. The Shaykh derived issues from this chapter that are very great; there are more than twenty issues in this chapter. Reflect on them, for they are the jurisprudence of the chapter.
The questioner:
Honorable Shaykh Abu Hatim, so that we look at other than Allah in order to face something that is it.
The Shaykh:
Seeking blessing from other than Allah is all minor shirk (associating partners with Allah), but if one believes that this grants the blessing independently, then it is shirk of benefit. And if he believes that this is a cause for the blessing, that the blessing is from Allah, but this is only a cause, this is a more difficult shirk.
