Question:
May Allah reward you, Honorable Shaykh. This questioner asks: When is the ignorant person excused for his ignorance in matters of creed?
Answer:
If he has no one to teach him, finds no one to teach him, and no one to ask, he is excused until he finds someone to teach him and guide him. Are matters of creed today obscure, when they are broadcast and disseminated?
In the media in the East and the West, and the near and the far hear them. Allah, Exalted and Majestic, in His wisdom, created these things to convey this religion. When this religion was general for humanity, He created what conveys it. First, through jihad in the path of Allah. When jihad ceased, these inventions of media came to convey it to the near and the far in the East and West of the earth. Praise be to Allah, so no one is excused now. Yes.
