Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
This questioner says: In some villages or countries where the Muhammadan call has not reached them, Honorable Shaykh, what is the ruling regarding those who died among them?
Answer:
The ruling is that he died upon shirk (associating partners with Allah) and kufr (disbelief), and his affair is left to Allah (Glorified and Exalted is He). He will be among the people of the period of ignorance (al-fatra), who will be resurrected and then a messenger will be sent to them to call them to Allah. If they obey him, they will enter Paradise, and if they disobey him, they will enter the Fire. These are the people of the period of ignorance. Yes.
