Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, if a person commits a trait of hypocrisy, does the punishment of the hypocrites in the Hereafter apply to him?
Answer:
To the extent that it is pure hypocrisy, which is doctrinal hypocrisy, he is with them in the lowest depth of the Fire. But if it is practical hypocrisy, then it is under Allah’s will: if He wills, He forgives him, and if He wills, He punishes him, because he is not a major disbeliever, but he is one who commits a major sin, and the one who commits a major sin is under the will of Allah[An-Nisa 4:48]. Yes.

Indeed, Allah does not forgive association with Him, but He forgives what is less than that for whom He wills
إِنَّ اللَّهَ لَا يَغْفِرُ أَن يُشْرَكَ بِهِ وَيَغْفِرُ مَا دُونَ ذَٰلِكَ لِمَن يَشَاءُ
