Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : ... Does Allah forgive minor shirk or not?
The Shaykh : The apparent meaning of the noble Qur'an, the apparent wording, is that it is not forgiven, because He says:[An-Nisa 4:48]. What entered into it is interpreted as a source, estimated to be associating partners with Him, associating partners with Him. This is a general indefinite noun in the context of negation, even though it is not an explicit indefinite noun, but rather by interpretation. And whoever looks at the meaning and that Allah the Exalted said: [Al-Ma'idah 5:72]. And this, by consensus, refers to major shirk, said that the verse in al-Nisa [An-Nisa 4:48] this is regarding major shirk. But in any case, the person is in danger and it is obligatory for him to repent from minor shirk, fearing that if he dies without repenting from it, he will be punished for it. Yes, that is right.

The Shaykh : He treats it, he treats this. In any case, showing off in worship, showing off in worship, there is no doubt that it attacks the heart of a person. But if he resists it and avoids it, it does not harm him, because it does not harm him even if we assume that Satan placed showing off in worship in the heart of the worshipper, placed it in his heart, and then he chased it away, it does not harm him. Yes, that is right. Yes. No ... is this the first one? The second one?
