Sheik Halis (Abu Hanzala)
What does it mean that ignorance is an excuse in religion?
Is ignorance an excuse?
In which subjects is ignorance accepted as an excuse?
He answers those questions.
Ignorance is an excuse in what matters, in what matters it is not an excuse?
1. Ignorance is not an excuse when it comes to worshiping Allah and not associating anything with him.
2. Ignorance is an excuse for matters such as prayer, zakat, fasting, drinking alcohol is forbidden and adultery forbidden, including fard and harams.
3. The matters with fine details of religion that cannot be known to everyone are excuses.
Nowadays, while there is every opportunity to reach information, it is told that the people who followed the peoples of the past tribes , could not be excused with ignorance while associating anything with Allah, and that people become kafir(non-muslim) by turning away from Allah and Allah's remembrance.
The Prophet (pbuh) said:
“Step by step, you will be subject to the nations before you . If they enter the hole of a lizard, you will enter the hole of the lizard with them. You will be subject to the people of book(Christians and Jews), step by step. ” (Bukhari, Muslim)
In another hadith, the Prophet said:
“Unless a group from my community worships idols, unless a group of my community join to polytheists, the end of the world will not come."
“Unless Lat and Uzza are worshiped, it does not go day and night together. In other words, Lat and Uzza will be worshiped again before the end of the world. “(Bukhari)
In another hadith said the Prophet (pbuh):
"The end of the world will not come unless the hips of Devs women turn around their idol of Zilkalese."
Now, as the Prophet (pbuh) reported, when people worshiped idols, have shirks, and did wrong things, people began to sit down and discuss this issue: Will we call those people as polytheists who worship this idol? Will we declare their kufr?
A group of people whom Allah enlightened their hearts with Tawheed stood upright, just as the Companions stood. They said: Religion is the religion of Allah. Whoever does something that requires a name in Allah's religion takes that name. It takes the name of kufr if you make kufr. It takes the name of the polytheist if you associate anything with Allah. Those who serviced Allah for Islam and turned to Allah in a pure way would be named as Muslim. On the other hand, a group of people could not tolerate going under this burden, and they started looking for excuses.
They said: How can we call those people not polytheists, but sinful Muslims? They said that ignorance is an excuse, they said it is an excuse, and they said imitation is an excuse. Whatever Allah says is not an excuse in the Qur'an or not, it didn't matter for them.
To say that ignorance is an excuse is this: If a man makes an ignorant act, he is not judged by his consequences. In other words, he is not called a polytheist in the world. It means that he will not be fire in the hereafter.
To say that ignorance is not an excuse means that when a man makes a mistake, even if he is ignorant, he sees what he has done in the world and in the hereafter.
So, is ignorance an excuse?
...
It is said that today's people are not excused with ignorance about polytheism to Allah because what they do is to turn away from the verses of Allah.
"Who could be more cruel than those who turn away from the verses of Allah even though the verses of Allah are reminded to them?" (18 / Kehf, 57)
It is evidenced by verses and hadiths that every human being was created in hanif fitra, promised that they will not associate anything with Allah in the souls realm, and thatpeople who associate anything to Allah are not excused by ignorance.
It is told that the father of the Prophet, who has not received a book and a prophet, is on fire because he had shirk. It indicates that the modern society will not be excused, either.
