Do we call the shirk of idols primitive shirk?

The questioner : Is it appropriate to say that the shirk of idols is primitive shirk?

The Shaykh : My brother, may Allah bless you, the term "primitive shirk" has not been mentioned in the Qur'an, has it? Say no. Say no, do not worry, and it is not in the Sunnah either. So, who spoke of it? A person named Zayd, for example. Well, we seek clarification from him: does he mean by "primitive" that it does not take one out of the religion after the proof has been established? If he intends this, we would reject that from him if he is trying to downplay this shirk. We seek clarification from him: what do you mean by the word "primitive"? By "primitive," I understand it to mean that these Arabs are living as polytheists, and they do not have a book like the Jews and Christians that guides them, points them in the right direction, and leads them, even if in some aspects that remained preserved among the People of the Book and were not distorted, they are polytheists living in this state of jahiliyyah (the pre-Islamic age of ignorance). This is what he means by "primitive shirk." I do not understand it to mean that it is shirk that one should not pay attention to. I think that you and those like you want people to understand it that way. Therefore, do not stop at these words. Why? Because, first, they did not come from an infallible person, and second, try to understand what he means by this word. As is narrated from some of the Salaf (the earliest generations), "seek an excuse for your brother." This is if the expression implies something that contradicts the Shari'ah (Islamic sacred law). But by Allah, the expression is not clear. Well, we attribute it to the best of the two possibilities. Yes.

Another questioner : Before the Maghrib (the sunset prayer) prayer, it is fitting for us to perhaps, if Allah wills, this contains guidance for everyone.
