Is the issue of excuse through ignorance one in which scholarly disagreement is permissible?

Question:
Some say that excuse through ignorance is a matter in which disagreement is permissible. Is this correct? And is this view in accordance with the people of the Sunnah and the community?

Answer:
In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful. Praise be to Allah, Lord of the worlds. May peace and blessings be upon our Prophet Muhammad, and upon his family and all his Companions. I do not know what is meant by the statement that "excuse through ignorance is a matter in which independent legal reasoning (ijtihad) is permissible." Excuse through ignorance has been established by the Shari'ah; there is no room for ijtihad in it, for it has been established by the Shari'ah. The one who has not received any knowledge of the religion due to his isolation from contact with scholars is excused for his ignorance.
As for now, praise be to Allah, the means of broadcasting and transmission reach the farthest and the nearest, and there is no place left where the voice of transmission and broadcasting does not reach. So praise be to Allah; this is part of establishing the proof upon the servants. Yes.
