The Shaykh : He says: Is minor shirk among the major sins? And if so, what is the evidence for that? Ah.

The questioner : ... .

The Shaykh : What?

The Shaykh : I do not rule except in accordance with what I hear.
Shirk is greater than the major sins, by the saying of Allah, Blessed and Exalted is He:
Indeed, Allah does not forgive association with Him, but He forgives what is less than that for whom He wills إن الله لا يغفر أن يشرك به ويغفر ما دون ذلك لمن يشاء
[An-Nisa 4:48]
This indicates that shirk is [such that] what is less than shirk is forgiven. And Ibn Mas'ud (may Allah be pleased with him) said:
I would rather swear a false oath by Allah than swear a true oath by other than Him. لأن أحلف بالله كاذبا أحب إلي من أن أحلف بغيره صادقا
Musannaf Abd al-Razzaq 21:121
