Is a Muslim excused if he associates partners with Allah out of ignorance?

The questioner:
The questions have multiplied, asking about a report attributed to your eminence that you say if a Muslim man falls into shirk (associating partners with Allah) and the worship of graves, he is excused by ignorance until the proof is established against him.

The Shaykh:
And when I said this, there is a text that answers me, the exact words that I said, or in my voice. A person writes it down, or a person records it in my voice. As for attributing it to a person, mere attribution today is lying, which is widespread among people, and everyone who wants something attributes it to so-and-so. Yes.

The presenter:
May Allah reward you, Honorable Shaykh.

The Shaykh:
This statement is in my voice, if it is recorded, or they bring it to me in writing, if it is in my handwriting, my signature. Perhaps someone writes it and says this is the saying of so-and-so. Yes.
