Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. A questioner says: You mentioned (may Allah preserve you) that false love is among the major sins. Is there such a thing as shirk-based love? He says: You mentioned (may Allah preserve you) that false love is among the major sins. Is there such a thing as love?
The Shaykh:
False love.
The questioner:
Yes, it is among the major sins. He asks: Is there shirk-based love, or is it all among the major sins without any shirk?
The Shaykh:
Loving other than Allah, loving idols, trees, and stones that are worshipped is shirk. Yes, if it is followed by worship of the beloved, then it is shirk. Yes.
