Coercion in Actions and Statements
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, this questioner says: Does coercion apply to actions as it does to statements, or is it limited to statements only?
Answer:
It applies to statements. The apparent meaning of the texts is that it applies to statements only, not to actions. This is evidenced by the story of the fly. The story of the fly involved an action, and its owner was not excused. It is not permissible for a person to prostrate to other than Allah or to slaughter for other than Allah and claim that he was coerced. It is not permissible. Yes.
The presenter:
May Allah reward you
