No, this is only sin as he admits that it is haram.

How to differentiate between sin and shirk (especially major shirk) Example:1# If a person does many haram acts because of his desire and continues it without fearing Allah then will it be just a sin or it will be considered as he is following his desire _is it shirk as mentioned in Quran [45:23] “Have you seen he who has taken as his god his [own] desire, and Allah has sent him astray due to knowledge and has set a seal upon his hearing and his heart and put over his vision a veil? So who will guide him after Allah? Then will you not be reminded?”……………………….. 2# We know interest is haram. If a person continues to take interest after knowing it haram or does not pay zakat _does it mean that he loves money more than Allah and doing shirk as mentioned in hadith _“He who became the slave of the Dinar or the Dirham will perish and be destroyed.” [Hadith Bukhari]SO are these just sin or they are shirk or they may lead to shirk even major shirk?
