What are the major sins (kaba'ir), what is the difference between the seven destructive major sins (al-kaba'ir as-sab' al-mubiqat) and other major sins, what are the minor sins (sagha'ir), and what are the expiations for sins?
Major sins are all grave transgressions, differing from minor sins in that they require sincere repentance for their expiation, whereas minor sins can be expiated by avoiding major sins and performing righteous deeds such as the five daily prayers, fasting Ramadan, Hajj, and Umrah, bearing in mind that the rights of people are not waived except through just retribution.
