The ruling on making du'a' (supplication) for one who died upon shirk (associating partners with Allah) and to whom the call had not reached

Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. This questioner says: Some people live in remote villages, and the call of Islam has not reached them. If they die upon shirk out of ignorance, is it permissible for us to make du'a' for them after their death?

Answer:
No, if they did not die upon Islam, do not make du'a' for them. The call has reached them, my brother. We are in a place where the call has reached, especially after the arrival of these means of broadcasting. They hear and see, even seeing the people praying and seeing the mosques. So the call has reached, and praise be to Allah. Yes.
