Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
There is no doubt that the development of communication means enhances people's knowledge of the religion of Islam. However, there may be people who have not heard of Islam due to reasons such as language or remote areas. In any case, Allah does not burden a soul beyond its capacity, and He does not punish anyone to whom the prophetic message has not reached. Whoever is in such a situation is treated in the same way as the people of the fatrah.
