The Fate of the One Who Commits Minor Shirk
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
And does that brother? Does that brother take it upon the will, or does Allah not forgive?
The Shaykh:
There is a disagreement among the scholars. Some say that he must be punished, but he is not punished like the punishment for the other shirk; he is not kept in the Fire, based on His saying, the Exalted:[An-Nisa 4:48] through obedience. They say this is general for major and minor shirk. But the one who commits minor shirk is not punished by being kept in the Fire forever. Rather, he is punished according to the measure of his sin, and then, by the permission of Allah, he is cast into Paradise. The second opinion is that Allah forgives it. If his good deeds outweigh his bad, He forgives him for the minor shirk. And if his good deeds do not outweigh his bad, he is punished for the minor shirk. Yes.
The presenter:
May Allah reward you.
