Minor 'Shirk' is to perform an act of worship ( which is always supposed to be ONLY for God's sake ) with the intention that it should impress - or gain a benefit - from people. In other words, it is showing off. In that way, a person makes partners to God. In that way, a person worships someone other than God. While worshipping God, he is also worshipping the praise or some benefit from people. He mixes his worship of God with somethinhg impure. He should pray for God alone - not for people to say that he is pious. He should fast for God alone - not so that people admire him.

al-Shirk (polytheism) is of two kinds: major Shirk and minor Shirk. The major Shirk means to believe that Allah, The Great and Almighty has a partner: a god or Taghut (who exceeds his limits as a slave to Allah) who can manages the affairs of this universe.The major Shirk also means to worship somebody/thing with Allah, i.e. to pray, slaughter or vow for some Taghut, grave and so on.It also means to believe that similarity between Allah and His slaves in Attributes and Names or to, for example, deny some of the Divine Attributes and Names.In fact, one who commits such form of al-Shirk becomes non-Muslim, i.e. brings oneself out of the fold of Muslims.As for the minor Shirk, it is also prohibited by Sharia. Since it may lead to the major one. Examples of this Shirk include: Taking an oath by other than Allah and al-Riyaa (duplicity and performing acts for the sake of showing off and others' praise). This form of Shirk does not bring one out of the fold of Islam and Muslims, but it is a great sin.Allah knows best.
