Is There Any Punishment In Islamic Sharia For Shirk ( Idolatry)
There is no punishment for shirk in Shariah. However, in the time of the holy prophet when Hujjah was completed God had ordained to annihilate all the polytheists in Arabia. It was not a part of shariah but a special punishment from God on the same line according to which the previous nations of the prophets were wiped out in azab. The punishment of Shirk and kufr are prerogative of God. Therefore they are not make punishable crime in the Shariah.
