· 19 Safar 1438 AH1 min readEnglish

Question

If someone does or says something kufr or shirk due to lack of knowledge or ignorance or unintentionally, can he/she be excused or will it be recognized as kufr?

Answer

It is likely that Allah Ta`ala will forgive, but such a person should be very careful.

And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
