Is the one who makes Tawâf around graves excused for ignorance?

Imâm Sâlih bin Fawzân al-Fawzân

 

Question: Is the one who makes Tawâf around graves excused for his ignorance?

Answer: There is no ignorance after the Messenger . Jâhiliyyah and ignorance have ceased. Those who are ignorant are ignorant becuase of their negligence. They have neither learned nor asked.

The only exception is the one living in isolation and far away from the muslims. He is excused.

As for those who live among muslims in muslim countries, with access to mosques and ability to listen to radio broadcasts, sermons and lessons – those are not considered to be ignorant.
