Question

If someone sins and they do not know that they need to change, and no one tells them, is the person still accountable and are their actions written as a sin?

Answer

Since there are many avenues available for one to learn deen and come to know which actions are permissible and which actions are impermissible and amount to a sin, one cannot regard himself as excused for not knowing.

And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.

Fatawa SA is an independent, read-only index of fatawa already published by Mufti Online — Madrasah Ta'leemuddeen. It is not a fatwa service. For your own situation, ask the issuing Darul Ifta directly.
