Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. This questioner says: Do the hadiths regarding the covenant and taking it from the backs of the children of Adam serve as an argument against those who excuse people who commit shirk out of ignorance, given that Allah took the covenant from the children of Adam not to associate anything with Him, so they are not excused?
Answer:
My brother, Allah sent the Messengers and sent down the Books, and He did not leave for people an excuse to say such and such. He sent the Messengers and sent down the Books, and they are in the hands of people, so they have no excuse after that.
