Shittuf
From Wikinoah English
Shittuf is usually understood to mean belief in God in the name of someone else. In Arabic, setting up any partner alongside God is called Shirk and Mushrikun (those who set up partners) are generally frowned upon in Petrine tradition even if they are Noahide.
- "R. Tam's view that Shittuf (belief in God the Father, along with an additional deity) is permitted to Gentiles was accepted by the Halakhist R. Moses Isserles (Rema. Orah Hayyim 156:1) and later authorities as well. -It is difficult to ascertain Maimonides' view on this subject as a passage relating to it has heen altered in various editions (Yad, Ma'akhalot Asurot 11:7). The Talmudic Encyclopedia also omits reference to Maimonides on this issue (see Ben Noah, 1981 edition, 3:350)."[1]
