Shirk is translated as polytheism and in the shariah it is to make an equal to Allah Ta`ala in His being, in His existence and in His attributes.

Fatawa SA is an independent, read-only index of fatawa already published by Mufti Online — Madrasah Ta'leemuddeen. It is not a fatwa service. For your own situation, ask the issuing Darul Ifta directly.
