Question:
He says: Some people cite the hadith of Dhat Anwat as evidence for the issue of excusing ignorance, and that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) did not declare them disbelievers. Is this evidence valid?
Answer:
The Shaykh mentioned this in Kashf al-Shubuhat. He answered this doubt and responded to it, saying: They did not do it, and if they had done it, they would have committed shirk (associating partners with Allah). But they asked the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) and waited, not doing anything until it could be said that they are excused by ignorance. Yes.
