What is your opinion on the book "Ar-Risalah al-Mutammimah fi Mas'alat al-Jahl fi ash-Shirk al-Akbar" by Shaykh Ali al-Khudair?

This website aims to answer the questions of those seeking fatwas, not to evaluate writings or individuals. Regarding excusing ignorance in major shirk (polytheism), Sheikh Ibn Uthaymeen differentiates between two types of ignorance concerning that which necessitates disbelief:

1. Ignorance of a non-Muslim: This person is subject to the rulings of disbelief in this world, and their affair in the Hereafter is with Allah. The more preponderant opinion is that they will be tested therein. 2. Ignorance of a Muslim: This person is outwardly subject to the rulings of Islam in this world, and their affair in the Hereafter is with Allah. The texts of the Sharia and the sayings of scholars have indicated this.
