The second type of shirk it does not involve devoting worship to other than Allah rather it is the means of polytheism and is not pure worship and leads to Shirk al Akbar for example swearing by other than Allah.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: verdana, geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;\">When someone commits Shirk al Akbar he exits the fold of Islam, as for Shirk al Asghar the person does not exit the fold of Islam and he is still a Muslim, and he can repent for his actions.<sup>1<\/sup> Hence desires are part of every human being as we are not sin free like the angels, however we have the choice to make a correction of our actions. The sins you have mentioned are sins which can lead to Shirk al Asghar and one can seek repentance from these sins and by the mercy of Allah attain paradise.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: verdana, geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;\">Only Allah knows best<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: verdana, geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;\">Written by Muftiyah Sofia Mirza<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: verdana, geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;\">Checked and approved by Mufti Mohammed Tosir Miah<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: verdana, geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;\">Darul Ifta Birmingham<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: verdana, geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;\">1 Usool ul Aqeedah, Abdur Rahman Al Sulami, Vol 5, pg. 8<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: verdana, geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;\">\u0627\u0644\u0634\u0631\u0643 \u0627\u0644\u0623\u0643\u0628\u0631 \u0635\u0631\u0641 \u0639\u0628\u0627\u062f\u0629 \u0645\u062d\u0636\u0629 \u0644\u063a\u064a\u0631 \u0627\u0644\u0644\u0647 \u062a\u0639\u0627\u0644\u0649\u060c \u0643\u0623\u0646 \u064a\u062f\u0639\u0648 \u0627\u0644\u0645\u0631\u0621 \u063a\u064a\u0631 \u0627\u0644\u0644\u0647\u060c \u0623\u0648 \u064a\u0633\u062a\u063a\u064a\u062b \u0628\u063a\u064a\u0631 \u0627\u0644\u0644\u0647\u060c \u0623\u0648 \u064a\u0630\u0628\u062d \u0644\u063a\u064a\u0631 \u0627\u0644\u0644\u0647\u060c \u0623\u0648 \u064a\u0635\u0644\u064a \u0644\u063a\u064a\u0631 \u0627\u0644\u0644\u0647\u060c \u0623\u0648 \u064a\u0633\u062c\u062f \u0644\u063a\u064a\u0631 \u0627\u0644\u0644\u0647\u060c \u0623\u0648 \u064a\u062d\u0628 \u0645\u062d\u0628\u0629 \u062a\u0627\u0645\u0629 \u063a\u064a\u0631 \u0627\u0644\u0644\u0647 \u062a\u0639\u0627\u0644\u0649\u060c \u0623\u0648 \u064a\u062e\u0627\u0641 \u062e\u0648\u0641 \u0627\u0644\u0633\u0631 \u0645\u0646 \u063a\u064a\u0631 \u0627\u0644\u0644\u0647 \u062a\u0639\u0627\u0644\u0649\u060c \u0623\u0648 \u064a\u062a\u0648\u0643\u0644 \u062a\u0648\u0643\u0644\u0627\u064b \u062a\u0627\u0645\u0627\u064b \u0639\u0644\u0649 \u063a\u064a\u0631 \u0627\u0644\u0644\u0647 \u0639\u0632 \u0648\u062c\u0644\u060c \u0623\u0648 \u064a\u0641\u0639\u0644 \u0623\u064a \u0646\u0648\u0639 \u0645\u0646 \u0623\u0646\u0648\u0627\u0639 \u0627\u0644\u0639\u0628\u0627\u062f\u0627\u062a \u0627\u0644\u0634\u0631\u0639\u064a\u0629 \u0644\u063a\u064a\u0631 \u0627\u0644\u0644\u0647\u060c \u0641\u0625\u0630\u0627 \u0641\u0639\u0644\u0647\u0627 \u0644\u063a\u064a\u0631 \u0627\u0644\u0644\u0647 \u0641\u0642\u062f \u0648\u0642\u0639 \u0641\u064a \u0627\u0644\u0634\u0631\u0643 \u0627\u0644\u0623\u0643\u0628\u0631 \u0627\u0644\u0645\u062e\u0631\u062c \u0639\u0646 \u062f\u0627\u0626\u0631\u0629 \u0627\u0644\u0625\u0633\u0644\u0627\u0645.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: verdana, geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;\">\u0623\u0645\u0627 \u0627\u0644\u0634\u0631\u0643 \u0627\u0644\u0623\u0635\u063a\u0631 \u0641\u0644\u064a\u0633 \u0641\u064a\u0647 \u0635\u0631\u0641 \u0639\u0628\u0627\u062f\u0629 \u0644\u063a\u064a\u0631 \u0627\u0644\u0644\u0647 \u062a\u0639\u0627\u0644\u0649\u060c \u0648\u0625\u0646\u0645\u0627 \u0647\u0648 \u0648\u0633\u064a\u0644\u0629 \u0645\u0646 \u0648\u0633\u0627\u0626\u0644 \u0627\u0644\u0634\u0631\u0643\u060c \u0644\u064a\u0633 \u0639\u0628\u0627\u062f\u0629 \u0645\u062d\u0636\u0629\u060c \u0628\u0644 \u0648\u0633\u064a\u0644\u0629 \u0645\u0646 \u0627\u0644\u0648\u0633\u0627\u0626\u0644 \u0627\u0644\u0645\u0641\u0636\u064a\u0629 \u0625\u0644\u0649 \u0627\u0644\u0634\u0631\u0643 \u0627\u0644\u0623\u0643\u0628\u0631.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: verdana, geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;\">\u0623\u0646 \u0627\u0644\u0634\u0631\u0643 \u0627\u0644\u0623\u0643\u0628\u0631 \u0645\u062e\u0631\u062c \u0645\u0646 \u0627\u0644\u0645\u0644\u0629\u060c \u0648\u0623\u0646 \u0627\u0644\u0634\u0631\u0643 \u0627\u0644\u0623\u0635\u063a\u0631 \u063a\u064a\u0631 \u0645\u062e\u0631\u062c \u0645\u0646 \u0627\u0644\u0645\u0644\u0629\u060c \u0641\u0627\u0644\u0645\u0634\u0631\u0643 \u0634\u0631\u0643\u0627\u064b \u0623\u0643\u0628\u0631 \u062e\u0627\u0631\u062c \u062f\u0627\u0626\u0631\u0629 \u0627\u0644\u0645\u0633\u0644\u0645\u064a\u0646<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u00a0Fatwa ID: 07138 &nbsp; Answered by: Muftiyah Sofia Mirza &nbsp; Question: &nbsp; I have two questions of very serious nature.
