Major and minor sins

Submitted by admin on Wed, 2015-10-21 14:27

Q:

1. In fazaail-e-amaal we read that minor sins are easily pardoned. What are the differences between major and minor sins?

2. Is there a list of major/minor sins so we can guard ourselves appropriately?

A:

1. Ulama have explained that major sins are those sins for which there is a warning in the hadeeth or the Qur'aan.

2. You may refer to Mufti Muhammad Shafee Sahib's kitaab 'Gunah be lazzat' for a list of major and minor sins. You may view it by following this link: www.scribd.com/doc/32419961/Sins-That-Produce-Nothing-By-Sheikh-Mufti-Mu...

And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
