Is one who is forced to commit an act of disbelief considered an apostate?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, is one who is forced to commit an act of disbelief considered an apostate?

Answer:
The dispensation was only for speech, not for action. One must not obey, must not prostrate to anyone other than Allah, must not slaughter for anyone other than Allah, and it is not permissible to say, "I was forced." The dispensation was only for speech. Yes.
