Are matters of 'aqidah (creed) among the matters known from the religion by necessity?

Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, this questioner from Algeria asks: Are matters of 'aqidah (creed) among the matters known from the religion by necessity? And is one excused if he falls into major shirk (associating partners with Allah) out of ignorance?

Answer:
Without a doubt, 'aqidah (creed) is among what is known from the religion by necessity, and one is not excused for being ignorant of it if the Qur'an has reached him and he is an Arab. However, if he is a non-Arab, it is necessary that its meaning be translated for him so that he understands it. Yes.
