Do sins that do not entail entering the Fire by their commission necessitate entering the Fire?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The Shaykh : No, no. The sins for which entering the Fire is not established in themselves, we do not assert that one enters the Fire because they are generally minor sins, and minor sins are expiated by good deeds. Yes, that is correct.
The questioner : ... The Shaykh says: If he does not pray, provided he does not associate partners with Allah, he will not remain in the Fire forever.
The Shaykh : The disbeliever is not one who does not remain forever; the disbeliever is eternally in the Fire, there is no doubt in that. It is prepared for the disbelievers.
The questioner : The verse.
The Shaykh : And the hadith of Jabir also in Muslim, where he made abandoning prayer a form of shirk (associating partners with Allah), because the meaning of shirk is that you prostrate to an idol, no, until making lawful what Allah has forbidden and making forbidden what Allah has made lawful is shirk, as is well known.
The questioner : Now, what if he abandons prayer, meaning out of negligence?
The Shaykh : This is what makes him a disbeliever, and this is what we affirm and emphasize.
The questioner : It is well known... shirk.
The Shaykh : Now, what about a man who does not associate partners with Allah but denies what Allah has revealed? What happens? Now, he said prayer is not an obligation, he is a disbeliever, and he did not associate partners with Allah, yes.
