Questions on the Explanation of the Book of Nullifiers of Islam

The questioner:
Honorable Shaykh, the questioner asks: Is the one who is coerced into committing disbelief like the one who is coerced into slaughtering for other than Allah? Or prostrating?

The Shaykh:
Also?

The questioner:
Like the one who is coerced into slaughtering for other than Allah, or prostrating to an idol, is he like the one coerced into speech in that the sin is lifted from him?

The Shaykh:
Coercion by action is not permissible; it is not permissible for him to prostrate to other than Allah or slaughter for other than Allah, even if he is killed, and it is not carried out. As for speech, he may say it, saying, "I was coerced into this," which is what came in the Qur'an, and the occasion of its revelation is known. Yes. The scholars differ on whether one is coerced into action as one is coerced into speech; there is disagreement. But the correct view, and the one that puts the soul at ease, is that one is not coerced except into speech only. Yes.
