The questioner:
This questioner says: Did the scholars differ on the issue of the excuse of ignorance, or is it a matter of consensus?
The Shaykh:
No, ignorance is not an excuse. The ignorance that excuses its owner is a matter of scholarly disagreement, but the ignorance that does not excuse its owner
The questioner:
Definitely.
The Shaykh:
is a matter where the disagreement is not considered; considering the disagreement in this matter is weak. So they defined ignorance as all ignorance, and everything that is known does not allow ignorance to have limits, places, or regulations. Yes.
