If a man hears that his action is shirk (associating partners with Allah) and does not abandon it, is he excused due to ignorance?

The questioner : That the Muslim heard that you, this person.

The Shaykh : About this, about this. He heard that it is what? Shirk (associating partners with Allah).

The questioner : And they only say.

The Shaykh : This may not be declared, meaning, the one who heard that this doubt is contrary to tawhid (the oneness of Allah) but ignored the matter and was negligent in seeking knowledge, and said that he is on the religion of his people, yes, or explicitly rejected it and said, "I do not accept it; we found our father on the religion of his mother, so this is disbelief." The one who says, "I do not accept it; we found our father on the religion of his mother, so this is disbelief," and the one who is negligent in seeking knowledge, without a doubt, intended [disbelief]. There is a consideration regarding his excuse due to ignorance, but our discussion is about an ignorant man who did not innovate anything. Yes, indeed.
