Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, he says: Is the issue of excusing ignorance considered a current issue (nawazil) in which only the great scholars speak?
Answer:
The excuse of ignorance—leave it as a cover for now, leave it as an excuse for everyone who falls into shirk (associating partners with Allah) and falls into kufr (disbelief). They say, "This person is ignorant," even though the Qur'an resounds day and night in their ears and they hear it. When is ignorance? Until when is ignorance?
