Answer
Shirk literally means partnership. In Shari'ah, it refers to ascribing partners with Allah in worship. Many disbelievers at the time of Rasulullah (Sallallaahu Alayhi Wasallam) believed in Allah Ta'ala but also worshipped idols. Almighty Allah says, 'Verily Allah will not forgive ascribing partners with Him and He will forgive all sins besides Shirk'.

Fatawa SA is an independent, read-only index of fatawa already published by Darul Iftaa Mahmudiyyah (AskImam). It is not a fatwa service. For your own situation, ask the issuing Darul Ifta directly.
