The excuse of ignorance for one who circumambulates graves

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Is one who circumambulates graves excused on the grounds of ignorance?

Answer:
Ignorance regarding matters in which there is ignorance after the sending of the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) has ceased. The pre-Islamic age of ignorance (jahiliyyah) has passed, and ignorance has passed. So if someone is ignorant, it is due to his negligence because he did not learn and did not ask, unless he was isolated from the Muslims and far away. In that case, he is excused. But the one who lives with the Muslims in Muslim lands, among the mosques, and hears the programs, sermons, and lessons, is not ignorant. Yes.
