Question:
From the questioner's questions, he says: Shaykh, is man given free choice or is he compelled?
Answer:
It is the course of divine decree in terms of the unfolding of destiny upon him, and it is the course of divine decree in terms of the legislative commands and prohibitions, for he has the ability to disbelieve and to disobey, and he has the ability to obey and to worship his Lord (Glorified and Exalted is He). Yes.
