If a man slaughters for the graves and does not know that it is shirk (associating partners with Allah), is he excused for his ignorance or not, given that he lives among Muslims?

Question:
May Allah reward you with good, and may He do you good. If a man slaughters for the graves and does not know that it is shirk, is he excused for his ignorance or not? Given that he is in the midst of a number of Muslims?

Answer:
Whoever lives with the Muslims and reads the Qur'an or hears it, and hears the hadiths, and hears the Friday sermons and other religious programs broadcast on the radio, is not excused for his ignorance, because the proof has reached him. If he slaughters for other than Allah, he is a mushrik (one who associates partners with Allah), committing major shirk which takes him out of the fold of Islam. Only the one who is cut off from the means of knowledge, to whom nothing has reached, is excused for his ignorance. This is if he is in a remote desert far from the Muslims, or in a land cut off from the lands of the Muslims, and he grew up in ignorance, and no proof reached him. This is the one who is excused for his ignorance. Yes.
