Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. The questioner asks: What is the evidence for the disbelief of one who directs any type of worship to other than Allah while affirming the oneness of lordship?
Answer:
The evidence is that he worshipped other than Allah, and the one who worships other than Allah is a mushrik (one who associates partners with Allah). So if he directs a type of worship to other than Allah, he becomes a mushrik committing major shirk (associating partners with Allah), even if he believes in the oneness of lordship.[Yusuf 12:106]

And most of them believe not in Allah except while they associate others with Him.
