One who swears not to commit zina but is coerced into zina

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, if a man swears that he will not commit zina, but is then coerced into committing zina, does he commit zina?

Answer:
It is not possible to be coerced into committing zina, because the desire comes from him. If his desire is aroused, that is proof of his choice, and that he proceeded to it with desire and choice. So coercion into zina is not possible. But the opposite is possible: a woman can be coerced into having zina committed with her. Yes.
