Please define Major Sin (Gunahh -e-Kabirah) and Minor Sin (Gunah-e-Saghirah)? How one can differentiate that the sin which he has perform is a Major Sin or Minor Sin.

Answer

A sin is a sin ? irrespective of the technical classification of the sin. One has to abstain from it.

A slave will not consider what is a major sin or minor crime in the presence of the king. He will abstain from every crime and, in fact, disrespect in the presence of the king.
