The question

The answer

One who is ignorant does not disbelieve due to what emanates from him out of ignorance. An example of this is the request of Moses' people to their prophet to make for them a god, and the request of some Companions from the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, to make for them a Dhat Anwat.
