Conditions for the Excuse of Ignorance

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, are there specific conditions for the excuse of ignorance?

Answer:
Ignorance is of two types. The first is ignorance that can be removed, but its owner has not made an effort to remove it. This person does not read between the people of the Muslims and the scholars, nor does he go to learn, nor does he go to ask, nor is he taught, because this ignorance can be removed, but he has not made an effort to remove it. As for the person who strives but this ignorance cannot be removed, because no one is available to teach him and he cannot reach them, this person is excused until this excuse is removed. Yes.
