Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you. Honorable Shaykh, this questioner says: Is compulsion limited to a single situation, where one assists the polytheists out of fear of being killed only, or does compulsion include threats of killing, torture, and other things?
Answer:
Compulsion varies in its circumstances. Compelling someone to divorce is different from compelling someone to disbelief, and compulsion differs in general. Regarding compulsion to disbelief, they demand that he speak only with his tongue. They demand that he speak with his tongue words of disbelief to escape their evil. This does not invalidate his faith, as long as he holds faith in his heart.
