Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you, Honorable Shaykh. This questioner says: There are people to whom the call and Islam have not reached, and they live far away from people. Are they excused for their ignorance?
Answer:
These are among the people of the period of ignorance (fatrah); they are included with the people of the period of ignorance if nothing has reached them. They are cut off from the world, and nothing reaches them. Now, there is nothing here that reaches them through radio broadcasting, or through the proximity of countries and the closeness of distances. There is no one here to whom Islam has reached. Yes.
