The questioner : We want you to listen to the beginning and then to what was a comment on Hasan al-Turabi.
Al-Halabi : Our Shaykh, this Hasan al-Turabi says that in the Islamic state, it is permissible for a Muslim to become a disbeliever or a Christian, just as it is permissible for a Christian to become a Muslim.
The Shaykh: Allah is the Greatest, against him.
Another questioner : A Muslim disbeliever?
Al-Halabi : Yes, exactly.
The Shaykh : He means that a free person holds fast to the verse[Al-Baqarah 2:256] This is the methodology of the ta'wil (figurative interpretation) and ta'til (denial of the divine attributes) people, who restrict themselves to the Qur'an and interpret the Qur'an according to their desires.

The Shaykh : He means that a free person holds fast to the verse
There shall be no compulsion in [acceptance of] the religion. The right course has become clear from the wrong.
لا إكراه في الدين قد تبين الرشد من الغي
