Question:
The meaning of:
Minor sinsمُحقّرات
?

Answer:
Those that a person despises, meaning: he considers them small and acts boldly regarding them, such as stealing a small amount of money that does not warrant the cutting off of the hand, and such as touching women, and such as looking at some women who are not mahram (relatives one may not marry), and the like of these, in which there is no warning of anger, or curse, or Fire, or a hadd (fixed punishment) in this world. The majority of scholars hold that these are the minor, despised sins.
