What Constitutes Compulsion into Disbelief

Question:
This questioner asks: What constitutes coercion? And is it…

Answer:
…permissible? Regarding the utterance of the word of disbelief. Regarding the utterance of the word of disbelief. As for coercion to perform an act, such as slaughtering for other than Allah or making a vow for other than Allah, this is not permissible. Do you know the hadith of the one who offered a fly as a sacrifice and entered the Fire? He was coerced; they said to him, “What are you slaughtering? If you do not, we will kill you.” So coercion does not apply to an act; it does not apply to the act of shirk (associating partners with Allah) or performing shirk. It only applies to speech: speaking the word of disbelief without believing it, in order to escape the coercion, as in the story of Salman (may Allah be pleased with him), and as in the story of 'Ammar ibn Yasir (may Allah be pleased with him). Yes.
