Coercion in the Context of Killing and Unlawful Sexual Intercourse
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
He says: May Allah preserve you, does the ruling on zina and killing include coercion?
The Shaykh:
Coercion does not apply to killing another person. That is, you do not save yourself by killing someone else. It is not permissible to save yourself by killing another. The same applies to unlawful sexual intercourse (zina); coercion does not apply to it either. Because when the desire is aroused, the arousal of desire is evidence of one’s willingness to commit zina. Yes.
The questioner:
Yes.
The Shaykh:
May Allah make us and you independent of that. Yes.
