Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, this questioner asks: Is a person excused by ignorance in matters of creed and tawhid (the oneness of Allah)?
Answer:
A person is not excused by ignorance if he is able to learn but does not. However, if he is unable to learn because there are no scholars available to him, or he does not hear anything about it, and he is far from the Muslims, then he is excused for as long as he is unable to learn. But if he finds someone who can teach him, then he is not excused.
The presenter:
May Allah reward you
