Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, he says: Does hidden shirk (associating partners with Allah) fall under hypocrisy?
The Shaykh:
Hidden shirk.
The questioner:
Yes, it is in hypocrisy.
The Shaykh:
Yes, if a person shows off to people with his deeds, that is hidden shirk. He prays while people do not know, but in his prayer he intends for people to praise him. This is hidden shirk in the heart, hidden shirk in the heart, and I seek refuge in Allah from it. It is also hypocrisy. Yes.
