Are the people of the period of ignorance considered among those to whom the message of the Prophet did not reach?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : O Shaykh, are the people of the period of ignorance considered among those to whom the message of the Prophet did not reach?

The Shaykh : If the intention behind "the people of the period of ignorance" is a specific group, then they must be identified. If the intention is not a specific group, but rather peoples to whom the call of a Prophet and Messenger did not reach, then the answer has already been given. So, what is the intention behind "the people of the period of ignorance" in your question?

The questioner : We say they are those to whom the call of a Prophet and a Messenger did not reach.

The Shaykh : It has been discussed previously:
And never would We punish until We sent a messenger. وما كنا معذبين حتى نبعث رسولاً
[Al-Isra 17:15]
