Question:
The Shaykh said: Ibn Matr reported that if a man is coerced into committing unlawful sexual intercourse, and if he does not do so, he is beaten severely, does this count as coercion that exempts one from the fixed punishment, or must the coercion be by killing only?
Answer:
No, coercion can be by killing, and it can be by beating and torture. Coercion varies in different matters, but it can be by killing, by beating, by torture, or by threat from one who is capable. Yes.
