Excuse by Ignorance
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The questioner asks, Shaykh, about the ruling on excuse by ignorance?
Answer:
The one to whom nothing has reached, who has not heard the Qur'an, and has not heard anything, and who lived in a place cut off from the Islamic world, this person is excused by ignorance. As for the one who lives with the Islamic world, who hears the Qur'an, hears the hadiths, hears the lessons, and hears the fatwas, this person is not ignorant; the argument has reached him. Allah, Exalted and Majestic, said:[Al-An'am 6:19] So, if the Qur'an has reached him, the argument has been established against him, if he is an Arab, because the Qur'an is in the language of the Arabs, and he is an Arab who understands the meaning of the Qur'an, so the argument has been established against him. Yes.
