The excuse of ignorance for one who worships the grave

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. The questioner says: In our country, a Salafi scholar says that
He who professed that there is no god but Allahمن قال لا إله إلا الله ولم يكفر بما يعبد من دون الله
Sahih Muslim 23a
and that it benefits him, just as he excuses the one who prostrates to the grave out of ignorance, and excuses the ignorant among the followers of Qadian.

Answer:
According to the methodology of the Salaf, the methodology of the Salaf is not like this. One does not excuse the one who worships the grave; he does not excuse him except a person who is either ignorant or one who is in doubt about disbelief, and the one who is in doubt about disbelief is a disbeliever.
