Minor shirk (associating partners with Allah) and whether it falls under the forgiveness of sins other than shirk
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
something, Allah the Exalted said: Allah does not take from it
The Shaykh:
Abu Malik.
The questioner:
Minor shirk (associating partners with Allah) in this weak [hadith].
The Shaykh:
Scholars have differed on whether minor shirk (associating partners with Allah) falls under this verse, such that it is not forgiven, or whether it is forgiven like the major sins that are less than shirk, on two opinions. But in any case, one does not remain in the Fire eternally; even if it is said that it is not forgiven for him, he is punished according to his degree, but he does not remain in the Fire eternally like the one who commits major shirk (associating partners with Allah). He is punished according to his degree and does not remain in the Fire eternally like the one who commits major shirk, because he has not exited Islam, so he has what Muslims have. Yes. And Allah the Exalted knows best, and may Allah send blessings and peace upon the Prophet.
