The sin that is not forgiven and the answer to it

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, if asked about the sin that is not forgiven, is the answer shirk (associating partners with Allah) in general, or major shirk as opposed to minor shirk?

Answer:
You say shirk (associating partners with Allah), just as Allah said:
Indeed, Allah does not forgive associationإِنَّ اللَّهَ لَا يَغْفِرُ أَن يُشْرَكَ
[An-Nisa 4:48]
You answer with the verse there; do not break it down, because if you break it down, it becomes easier for people. Summarize it as Allah summarized it.
