Question:
May Allah reward you, Honorable Shaykh. This questioner says: Does one who associates partners with Allah out of ignorance receive an excuse for his ignorance?
Answer:
If he is like one who is ignorant of this and nothing has reached him, he is among the people of the period of ignorance (fatrah). If nothing has reached him, he lived in isolation and nothing was conveyed to him, he is considered among the people of the period of ignorance who will be tested on the Day of Resurrection. A messenger will be sent to them, and they will be tested: whoever follows him and whoever does not follow him. Yes.
