The Ruling on Excusing Ignorance in Matters of Creed
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you, Honorable Shaykh. This questioner says: Is a person excused for ignorance in matters of creed and tawhid (the oneness of Allah)?
Answer:
A person is not excused for ignorance if he is able to learn but did not learn. However, if he is unable to learn because there are no scholars available to him and he does not hear anything, being isolated from the Muslims and far from them, then he is excused for the duration of his inability to learn. But if he finds someone who can teach him, then it is upon him.
