There is no sin if one forgets and hence will not sin if he doesn't know.
Allaah (Exalted is He) said:
“And there is no sin on you concerning that in which you made a mistake, except in regard to what your hearts deliberately intend”
[al-Ahzaab 33:5]
“Our Lord! Punish us not if we forget or fall into error”
[al-Baqarah 2:286]
And the Prophet (Peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said:
“My ummah is forgiven for mistakes and forgetfulness and for what they are forced to do.”
A Hasan hadeeth related by Ibn Maajah, and al-Bayhaqee and others.
Imaam an-Nawaawi (May Allaah have mercy on him) has provided an explanation in his 40 hadeeth.
