Question:
May Allah reward you, Your Eminence, father. This questioner says: One who slaughters for graves has committed shirk (associating partners with Allah). Is he excused for ignorance in this world and called a Muslim, not a mushrik (one who associates partners with Allah)?
Answer:
How is a mushrik called a Muslim in this world? The one who slaughters for other than Allah is a mushrik, not a Muslim. He is excused for ignorance and lives where he lives. He lives on Mars, not among the Muslims. He hears the Qur'an, he hears the words of the scholars, and he hears what is excused for ignorance. But he imitates the grave-worshippers, walks with them, does not ask, and does not hear from anyone who forbids it. He says, "These are Wahhabis" or "These are extremists." Ignorance is not always an excuse.
