Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, what is the ruling on the one who says, out of ignorance and not out of denial or rejection, but due to a lack of knowledge: "I do not know where Allah is"?

Answer:
A believer does not say this, even if he is an ordinary person. My brother, even if he is an ordinary person, he would not dare to say, "I do not know where Allah is." Never. This is not said by anyone but one who is misguided or deviant. It is the one who is misguided or deviant who says, "I do not know where Allah is." As for the common people, the Bedouins, and the city dwellers, no one says, "I do not know where Allah is." Rather, by their fitrah (innate natural disposition), they turn toward the height. Yes.
