Slaughtering for other than Allah under coercion and with a tranquil heart
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, is it permissible for one who is coerced into slaughtering for other than Allah to slaughter for other than Allah while his heart is tranquil?
Answer:
This is like coercion. Is coercion intended only in speech and not permissible in actions? This is the view of many, and they interpreted this hadith in this way, that coercion does not apply to actions, only to speech. So the correct view is that this is not coercion, but this is not disliked; rather, this is what may please [the coercer], meaning he has no [faith] in it. Otherwise, if he has [faith] in it, then he is a Muslim in this matter. Yes.
