Accountability Of A Muslim For Not Gaining Knowledge Of Religion
As a Muslim, the requirements of religion which relate to him at an individual level, he will be held accountable if he does not fulfil the obligatory requirements and it automatically ensues that he needs to have a knowledge of these requirements as well , for example , Fives times Salah, Fasting etc. which are absolute and apply to every Muslim. The matters like Inheritance distribution and Nikah and Tallaq etc. only arise when one is faced with such situations and do not necessarily apply to every Muslim. If one is never faced with such situations, then the requirements of religion relating to these domains are not oblilgatory for that Muslim to know and to follow.
