Question:
If a man says a word of disbelief but does not believe it, and he was either forgetful or mistaken, what is his ruling?
Answer:
Yes, as for being forgetful, I do not know how one forgets this? As for being mistaken, meaning ignorant, it is possible that he is ignorant. As for being forgetful, if he is sleeping and his mind is not with him, or if he is unconscious and speaks without awareness, he is excused because he has no awareness and is not accountable in that state.
