Are the whispers that involve polytheism (shirk) against God while committing sins, which Satan utters, considered an act for which a person is held accountable, thereby expelling him from Islam? Or are they not considered shirk that necessitates repentance without uttering the two testimonies of faith, similar to someone who has sinned and desires to repent?
