The ruling on those to whom the call of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) did not reach

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
A brother asks and says: There are people in the lands to whom the call of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) did not reach, or perhaps it reached some of them through an incorrect path? What is the ruling on these people?

Answer:
As our Lord said:
And never would We punish untilوَمَا كُنَّا مُعَذِّبِينَ حَتَّىٰ
[Al-Isra 17:15]
after the Messenger. It is necessary that the call of the Messenger reach them in a way that makes the matter clear to them; otherwise, they are among those who are excused. We look to Allah (Mighty and Majestic) on the Day of Resurrection: if He wills, He will punish them, and if He wills, He will forgive them, but He did not test them as mentioned in the texts: whoever responded in truth entered Paradise, and whoever disobeyed entered the Fire. Yes.
