The excuse of ignorance in a riba (usury or interest) contract
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, is it taken from the hadith that one is excused by ignorance in a ruling, since the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) did not order his worker to return the sold item and annul the contract, but rather he approved it and informed him of the ruling so that he would not fall into riba again?
Answer:
Yes, some scholars have said this: that he is excused by ignorance, because the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) did not order the return of the dates or the invalidation of the contract, but he guided him to the correct way for the future. Yes.
