Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
This questioner says: Is it correct to say that the issue of the excuse of ignorance in matters of shirk (associating partners with Allah) is not a matter of scholarly disagreement, and that the scholars’ position on it is one, which is that there is no excuse of ignorance in matters of shirk (associating partners with Allah)?
Answer:
There is no excuse of ignorance in matters of shirk (associating partners with Allah) except for one who lived in a land other than the lands of Muslims, and did not hear the Qur’an, did not hear the call to Islam, and did not hear the evidence, where the call did not reach him. As for clear shirk (associating partners with Allah), there is no excuse of ignorance in it except for one to whom nothing about Islam or from the Qur’an reached.
The presenter:
May Allah reward you,
