Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. The questioner says: The author (may Allah have mercy on him) stated that the messengers were sent to them to establish the argument against them. Is one to whom the argument and Islam have not reached in our current time excused due to his ignorance?

Answer:
If one is found to whom the argument has not reached, then he is among the people of the period of ignorance (al-fatra). Yes. If, hypothetically, one is found to whom the argument has not reached and he dies in that state, then he is among the people of the period of ignorance. However, the general reality is that no one is found now to whom the argument has not reached. This is because the means of media have spread and the callers to Allah have spread. There is no country on earth that does not have Muslims now, is there? There is no country now that does not have Muslims. And this is the spread of the call to Allah the Exalted for the purpose of conveying the message. Yes.
