I seek your guidance regarding one who finds a newspaper calling for freedom of thought

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
I seek your guidance for one who finds an article in a newspaper or a magazine calling for freedom of opinion and thought. What should he do, what is his position toward these writers, and what is obligatory upon him?

Answer:
Freedom of opinion and thought in what? In matters of religion? Or in matters of this world? There is a distinction here. If freedom of opinion and thought is in matters of this world, that is an easy matter. But if freedom of thought is in matters of creed, that is not permissible. That is disbelief. It is disbelief. The speech of one who speaks it and says that people are free in their worship, in their religion, and in their creed is disbelief.
