Question:

Answer:
I do not know of major shirk arising from the fear of the heart, or from the fear that leads to abandoning an obligatory duty or committing a sin. It is called a sin, not minor shirk. I do not know of minor shirk in this context. However, if fear of his child or fear of his wife leads him to disobey Allah, this falls under the category of sin and the category of minor shirk.
He does something that Allah has forbidden out of fear that his wife will be angry, or out of fear that his son will be angry. He drinks intoxicants or leaves the congregational prayer to please his wife. She fears her Lord or her employer, or something similar. Yes.
