The third question. The question is: When is a man excused by ignorance in matters of creed?
Answer:
Matters that are obvious, such as shirk (associating partners with Allah), kufr (disbelief), riba (usury or interest), zina (unlawful sexual intercourse), and drinking khamr (intoxicants), are obvious matters. If the Qur'an has reached a person, the argument is established against him and his ignorance of them is removed, because they are clear. As for the hidden matters that require explanation and clarification, a person is excused by ignorance in them until they are explained and clarified to him. Yes.
