Are the common people of the grave-worshippers excused by ignorance and figurative interpretation?

The questioner:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, the questioner asks: Are the grave-worshippers, especially the common people among them, excused by ignorance and figurative interpretation?

The Shaykh:
Oh, glory to Allah! Does that mean the Qur'an has no value? And those who read it, who are taught it, and who hear it, while it warns against shirk (associating partners with Allah)? What is shirk? Do they not ask about shirk? So what excuse do they have? They hear the Qur'an warning against shirk and informing that it nullifies deeds, and that Allah has forbidden Paradise for the mushrik (one who associates partners with Allah) This is a clear matter. One is only excused by ignorance in obscure matters that require clarification. As for apparent matters, the Qur'an is clear about them, such as zina (unlawful sexual intercourse). Zina is clear; everyone knows it. Riba (usury or interest) is clear; everyone knows it. Shirk is even more likely to be clearer than these matters. So what argument do they have? Until when will they be excused by Paradise?

The questioner:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. The questioner says:

The Shaykh:
They say: If it is explained to them and they are called to tawhid (the oneness of Allah), they say, "This is the religion of the Wahhabis." They call the warning the religion of the Wahhabis, the madhhab (school of jurisprudence) of Ibn 'Abd al-Wahhab. And they say Ibn 'Abd al-Wahhab is a Khariji, one of the Khawarij, and that the Wahhabis are Khawarij. And so on. They say this is their answer to the call and the clarification given to them. Yes, they say, "This is the Khawarij, this is the madhhab of the Khawarij." Yes.
