Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Some scholars have stated that all sins fall under the category of minor shirk. Is this statement correct?
Answer:
Not all sins are shirk; some are shirk and some are not. It is incorrect to classify all sins as shirk. Yes, shirk is a sin that is not forgiven except through repentance, even though Allah says:[An-Nisa 4:48] He divided sins into shirk and what is less than shirk, and mentioned the difference between them.
