After establishing the proof against those who seek aid from graves, they describe us as terrorists and extremists. Are they excused by ignorance after this?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you, Honorable Shaykh. This questioner says: We have many ignorant Sufis who prostrate before graves and shrines, seek aid from them, and invoke them other than Allah. Their argument for this is that they follow the official religious men of the state, most of whom are grave-worshippers or followers of Sufi orders. When we establish the proof against them, they do not acknowledge it; rather, they say that we are terrorists and extremists. The question is: Are these people mushrikin (those who associate partners with Allah), or are they excused by their ignorance?

Answer:
Beware of ignorance while you are clarifying things to them and reciting the Qur'an to them. The proof has reached them in their language and their ignorance has been removed, but they are stubborn, stubborn and persistent, may Allah protect us from that. You have done what is required of you, so continue advising them, perhaps Allah will guide them. Do not be distressed by their saying that you are terrorists or whatever they say; it does not harm you. They said of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) that he was a madman, a sorcerer, and a fortune-teller. They said many things about him, and he was the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him). So do not pay attention to these words ever, and do not let them concern you. Yes. May Allah reward you, Honorable Shaykh. This questioner says: Their claim that the state officials or their scholars do this is not a valid argument, and it will not benefit them with Allah on the Day of Resurrection. They said, "We obeyed our masters and our elders, and they led us astray." This will not benefit them with Allah on the Day of Resurrection. Yes.
