A: Minor Shirk does not take the person who commits it outside the fold of Islam; but rather it diminishes Iman (Faith) and opposes the obligatory perfection of Tawhid (belief in the Oneness of Allah). If a person recites Qur'an out of Riya' (showing­off), gives Sadaqah (voluntary charity) out of Riya' and so on, their Iman will be diminished and shaken. Thus, a person will be sinful for committing it; but it does not make them guilty of major Kufr (disbelief).
