The Ruling on Excusing a Muslim for Ignorance in Falling into Shirk

Question:
This questioner is asking. It is the same question as the one before it. He says: Is a Muslim excused for his ignorance if he falls into some types of shirk (associating partners with Allah), especially since there is no one to establish the argument against him?

Answer:
The answer is exactly like the answer to the first question. The one who falls into something of the types of shirk, if he is in the lands of Islam and hears the scholars and hears the Qur'an being recited on the radio, or if he reads the Qur'an himself and hears the words of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), or if he reads the hadiths, then he is not excused. This is because he is able to learn, and he is able to ask. The schools are open, the colleges are open, the scholars sit in the mosques, and the circles of dhikr (remembrance of Allah) exist. So he has no excuse, because knowledge is available and he can ask the scholars with great ease. But he remained in his ignorance and continued in a type of shirk, imitating what he sees in people without asking. So he has no excuse, because Allah has established the argument against him by the presence of scholars, the presence of books, the presence of lessons, and the available means of knowledge. So he has no excuse.
However, if he is in lands far from the lands of Islam, where he finds no one from the scholars and knows nothing, then it is possible that the argument has not been established against him, and his case is left to Allah. But this is rare; this is rare or difficult in this age, because knowledge has now spread, and the means of conveying the message have now spread. The means of conveying the message from Allah and His Messenger are through the media, through books and pamphlets, and through the presence of da'wah (calling) workers who spread across the different continents of the world. There is no land now without Muslims, almost, and Islamic centers. So the argument has now been established against the servants, and this is a decree from Allah (Glorified and Exalted is He). The conveying of the argument to the people of the earth today and the spread of da'wah today in the regions of the earth is a decree from Allah (Glorified and Exalted is He). So the result is that the excuse, if it exists now, is few, and the majority have no excuse, and the argument from Allah (Glorified and Exalted is He) is established against His servants. Yes.
