Is one excused for ignorance if he calls upon the dead and seeks their aid?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. A questioner says: One who knows about calling upon the dead, seeking their aid, and making vows to them—is he considered a mushrik (one who associates partners with Allah) and a disbeliever, or is he excused for ignorance if he is ignorant?
Answer:
Until when is ignorance an excuse, while the Qur'an is being recited? And the callers to Allah are calling to Allah in every place. The proof has been established and the message has reached the East and the West. No one is ignorant except those who live in remote caves or in desolate places where media does not reach them and no one reaches them. These are considered among the people of the period of ignorance (fatrah). Yes.
