The excuse of ignorance in legal rulings, from the hadith on the sale of dates
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, is it taken from the hadith that ignorance is an excuse in legal rulings? This is because the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) did not order his agent to return the sold item and annul the contract; rather, he approved it and informed him of the ruling so that he would not fall into riba (usury or interest) again.
Answer:
Yes, and some scholars have derived from this that one is excused by it. Because the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) did not order the return of the dates or the annulment of the contract, but he guided him to the correct method for the future.
