Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Your Excellency the Shaykh, do these prohibitions and the others we mentioned include the forgetful, the ignorant, and the coerced in their ruling, or is there a distinction? Please clarify it for us. May Allah reward you.
Answer:
The forgetful person removes the covering or removes the prohibited thing he did or avoids it in the future, and he owes nothing.[Al-Baqarah 2:286] The ignorant person is like him, the one ignorant of the ruling, except before it is clarified to him; there is no blame on him in that. If he commits a prohibited act while ignorant, there is no blame on him in that, because the ignorant person is excused until he learns the ruling. Yes.
