Investigating the Issue of Excuse through Ignorance

Question:
May Allah reward you. This questioner says: Some claim that the issue of excuse through ignorance is a matter of scholarly disagreement. What is the truth, with detail?

Answer:
First, it is not befitting for students of knowledge and beginners to engage with this great issue. It is not befitting for them to engage with it because they make disbelief and shirk (associating partners with Allah) easy for people, saying, "You are ignorant, and there is no blame on you." They should refrain from this matter. They should not open the doors for people that make it easy for them to remain in shirk and disbelief.
Rather, they should warn and caution people against this, and frighten them, rather than saying to them, "By Allah, you are ignorant, and the ignorant person is excused," and the like. This is a serious issue. It is not permissible to enter into it or delve into the issue of excuse through ignorance except for specialists and people of knowledge. As for students and beginners, it is not permissible for them to enter into or discuss the issue of excuse through ignorance.
This requires clarification and conditions and regulations that only select scholars know. Yes.
