The difference between the major and the minor shirk

Question:

“May Allah be good to you. He says: What is the opinion of Your Eminence in the issue of the difference between the major and the minor shirk as far as the forgiveness is concerned?”

Answer:

“The scholars have two opinions. One opinion is saying that the statement of Allah the Majestic and Most High:

{Verily, Allah forgives not that partners should be set up with him in worship} [Surah an-Nisaa' 4:48]

...means that Allah does not forgive any kind of shirk. But as for the major one then he is made to stay forever in the hellfire and the minor it's companion is punished according to it's proportion and then exits from it. And from them (the scholars) are those who made the minor shirk from the type of major sins. And in any case the description of shirk is ugly and repugnant. We ask Allah for wellbeing.”

السؤال: احسن الله اليكم يقول: ما هو رأي سماحتكم في مسألة الفرق بين الشرك الأصغر، والشرك الأكبر من حيث المغفرة؟
الجواب: العلماء لهم رأيان: قولٌ يقول: إن قول الله جل وعلا: ( إن الله لا يغفر أن يشرك به )، جنس الشرك لا يغفره الله، لكن الأكبر يخلد في النار، والأصغر يعذب صاحبه على قدره، ثم يخرج منها؛ ومنهم، من جعل الشرك الأصغر من جنس الكبائر،  وعلى كل حال وصف الشرك قبيح، وشنيع، نسأل الله العافية.
