Commentary
Technically, any action expressly forbidden by Allāh is a major sin. According to another view, a major sin is that about which either the threat of Hellfire, or a curse has been pronounced for it by Allāh and His Prophet ﷺ, or some punishment has been pronounced for the committing of it. Moreover, a minor sin, if repeated again, and again also assumes the status of a major sin.
