Question:
The listener sent this message, and Mustafa Ahmad says: Does the excuse of ignorance regarding matters of creed differ from other matters?
Answer:
Ignorance varies in the conditions of the ignorant person. If he is in a place where nothing of the Qur'an, the Sunnah, or Islamic knowledge reaches him, he is excused until he finds someone to convey it to him and guide him. However, if he is among scholars and Muslims, hearing the Qur'an, hearing the hadiths, hearing religious programs on the media, and reading, he is not excused by ignorance, because it has reached him; the Shari'ah has reached him, the truth has reached him. Allah, Mighty and Majestic, said to His Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him)[Al-An'am 6:19]. Whoever the Qur'an reaches, and he is an Arab who understands the meanings of the Qur'an, then the proof has reached him and the proof is established against him. Yes.

May Allah bless you.

And this Qur'an was revealed to me that I may warn you thereby and whomever it reaches.
