Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. A person says there is no god but Allah, yet he worships graves and slaughters animals for them out of ignorance. Does his action take him out of the religion?
Answer:
One is not excused by ignorance if the call has reached him. If the call has reached a person, he is not excused by ignorance. The call has reached the east and the west, praise be to Allah. It is never hidden, except for one who is isolated from the world, to whom nothing reaches, who does not hear the adhan or the prayer, and does not hear anything. Such a person is considered one of the people of the period of ignorance (al-fatra). Yes.
