Is every mushrik (one who associates partners with Allah) a kafir (disbeliever)?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : I spoke about combining the verse: [An-Nisa 4:48], and the hadith in "Sahih al-Bukhari," so we reached a conclusion, meaning we went to eat...
The Shaykh : You are interested in the topic... O people, you are students of knowledge, what is this noise and commotion? I only hear with one ear, and I only understand with one heart, andJami` at-Tirmidhi 3199Da'if (Darussalam), so one person is speaking. In my opinion, I have finished the topic, so may Allah reward the one who reminded me that I had not done so. So what did we reach until you say this?
The questioner : I reached the point of "Is every mushrik (one who associates partners with Allah) a kafir (disbeliever)?" And you said: that every kafir (disbeliever) is a mushrik (one who associates partners with Allah) or a mushrik (one who associates partners with Allah) is a kafir (disbeliever).
The Shaykh : Yes, and I brought the story of the dialogue between the believer and the disbeliever from the story of al-Kahf (the Cave).
The questioner : Yes, this is it.
The Shaykh : This is the evidence.
The questioner: Yes.
The Shaykh : Then I added to that and said: and by that, the difficulties in some hadiths are resolved; for example:Sahih Ibn Hibban 9:19, Sahih Ibn Hibban 9:19, did you hear this?
The questioner : Yes, we heard this.
The Shaykh : So what do you want more after this?
The questioner : Our master, the man of Paradise who is in "Sahih al-Bukhari"?
The Shaykh : We have finished with that - may Allah bless you - but this topic: that Allah - Mighty and Majestic - has the straight scales, He reckons with people other than our apparent reckoning, so He said to him: why did you do it? He said: out of fear of You. He said: then I have forgiven you. But we have finished with the topic; because the hadith is explicit in the reason for Allah's forgiveness of him, but I, for the sake of saving time and teaching our good young brothers, asked that question: is this a kafir (disbeliever) or a mushrik (one who associates partners with Allah)? So the discussion that you were present for took place, then I explained the topic that shirk (associating partners with Allah) and kufr (disbelief) from the legal perspective are one and the same meaning.
The questioner: Yes.
The Shaykh : So we have concluded the topic.
The questioner : May Allah reward you with good.
The Shaykh : And beware of that.
Indeed, Allah does not forgive association with Him
إِنَّ اللَّهَ لَا يَغْفِرُ أَنْ يُشْرَكَ بِهِThe Shaykh : You are interested in the topic... O people, you are students of knowledge, what is this noise and commotion? I only hear with one ear, and I only understand with one heart, and
Allah has not made for any man two hearts inside his body.
ما جعل الله لرجل من قلبين في جوفهThe questioner : I reached the point of "Is every mushrik (one who associates partners with Allah) a kafir (disbeliever)?" And you said: that every kafir (disbeliever) is a mushrik (one who associates partners with Allah) or a mushrik (one who associates partners with Allah) is a kafir (disbeliever).

The questioner: Yes.
The Shaykh : Then I added to that and said: and by that, the difficulties in some hadiths are resolved; for example:
Whoever abandons prayer has committed disbelief.
من ترك الصلاة فقد كفرWhoever abandons the prayer has committed shirk (associating partners with Allah).
من ترك الصلاة فقد أشركThe questioner : Yes, we heard this.
The Shaykh : So what do you want more after this?
The questioner : Our master, the man of Paradise who is in "Sahih al-Bukhari"?
