Does one who says "La ilaha illa Allah" but associates partners with Allah while ignorant enter the Fire?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : Yes. This questioner says: Does one who says "La ilaha illa Allah" but associates partners with Allah, such as supplicating to, fearing, or slaughtering for other than Allah, while ignorant, enter the Fire? And is it permissible to kill him?

The Shaykh : O my brothers, glory be to Allah, how can this question be raised when we heard our imam reciting in the Maghrib prayer: "And We did not destroy any town..." What?
except that it had warners (209) As a reminder; and never have We been unjust.إِلَّا لَهَا مُنذِرُونَ ذِكْرَىٰ وَمَا كُنَّا ظَالِمِينَ
[Ash-Shu'ara 26:208-209]
Does Allah the Exalted punish anyone without knowledge? Far be it from Him; the Lord, Mighty and Majestic, has mercy that precedes His anger, and He is more merciful to His servants than their mothers. And He says in the Noble Qur'an:
(208) And We did not destroy any city except that it had warners (209) As a reminder; and never have We been unjust.وَمَا أَهْلَكْنَا مِن قَرْيَةٍ إِلَّا لَهَا مُنذِرُونَ ذِكْرَىٰ
[Ash-Shu'ara 26:208-209]
We must remind them, and We were not unjust.
