Minor shirk does not expel one from the fold of Islam
Original (Arabic): https://binbaz.org.sa/fatwas/13/الشرك-الاصغر-لايخرج-من-الملة
Question: Does minor shirk expel the one who commits it from the fold of Islam?
Answer: Minor shirk does not expel one from the fold of Islam; rather, it diminishes iman and contradicts the perfection of the tawhid that is wajib. So if a person recites [the Qur'an] to show off, or gives charity to show off, or does something similar, his iman is diminished and weakened, and he sins for this act, but he does not thereby commit kufr, meaning major kufr.[1].
