The excuse of ignorance for one who circumambulates graves and calls upon their inhabitants for aid

Question:
It is not so that Allah has led them astray. One of the people of misguidance said—and I think it was him—that what some of the contemporary ignorant people do, namely circumambulating the graves, is not a sin because the proof has not reached them. He says that Allah, Glorified and Exalted, said, "And We will not punish until We send a Messenger," and that these people have not been informed that this is disbelief. Then, if they ask the people of Paradise about it, they will say it is permissible. So how do we respond to this statement?

Answer:
By Allah, my brothers, this is a false statement. The Qur'an is clear, and most people memorize the Qur'an. In its most extreme form, it contains the refutation of the polytheists and the refutation of shirk (associating partners with Allah). The matter is clear. Who is the one to whom the proof has reached? The one who heard the Qur'an, or read it, or memorized part of it. To whom has the proof reached?
The Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) said, and Allah revealed to him that he should say: This means that the Qur'an has been conveyed. And most of these people memorize the Qur'an by heart, perhaps even with the seven or ten canonical recitations. So we say: Has the Qur'an not been conveyed to them? Is this not correct? Yes.
