Is the ignorant Muslim punished in certain matters that no one informed him about, or is ignorance an excuse?

Question:
Is the ignorant Muslim punished in certain matters that no one informed him about, or is ignorance an excuse? May Allah reward you with good.

Answer:
Ignorance varies. If it is in a place where he can remove his ignorance by asking the people of knowledge, he is not excused, because he is negligent. But if he is in a place where it is impossible for his ignorance to be removed, such as being in a remote desert far from Islam, or in a country far from Islam, and nothing reaches him, and nothing of knowledge reaches him, and he has not heard anything, then he is excused by his ignorance, due to the saying of Allah the Exalted: , and He said: . So the one to whom nothing reaches because of his disconnection from the Muslims, whether because he is in a remote desert, or because he is in a country far from the lands of Islam, and he has no one from the people of knowledge with him, and he has not heard anything, this person is not excused by his ignorance. But now, the means of conveying the message are available, praise be to Allah, and the media that reach the east and the west through the airwaves. So the argument reaches him if it is in a language he understands, if he wishes, then the argument has reached him. Yes.
