"For this reason, the scholars said: One who denies the obligatory acts of worship is not declared a disbeliever if he is a recent convert to Islam until it is explained to him.

The Shaykh :"For this reason, the scholars said: One who denies the obligatory acts of worship is not declared a disbeliever if he is a recent convert to Islam until it is explained to him" This means if a man recently converted to Islam and said that the five daily prayers are not obligatory, he is not declared a disbeliever. Why? Because he is ignorant, he does not know, and he is learning. But if he has lived among the Muslims and denies that, he is declared a disbeliever, because this is known by necessity from the religion of Islam.
"And among the obstacles—obstacles to what? Obstacles to the ruling of declaring someone a disbeliever or an open sinner—is that what necessitates disbelief or open sinfulness occurs without his intention" So intention is necessary. "And it has forms, one of which is: that he is coerced into it and does it due to the pressure of coercion, not out of conviction. In that case, he is not declared a disbeliever, based on the saying of Allah the Exalted:

Whoever disbelieves in Allah after his belief... except for one who is forced [to renounce his religion] while his heart is secure in faith. But those who [willingly] open their breasts to disbelief, upon them is wrath from Allah, and for them is a great punishment;

مَنْ كَفَرَ بِاللَّهِ مِنْ بَعْدِ إِيمَانِهِ إِلَّا مَنْ أُكْرِهَ وَقَلْبُهُ مُطْمَئِنٌّ بِالْأِيمَانِ وَلَكِنْ مَنْ شَرَحَ بِالْكُفْرِ صَدْراً فَعَلَيْهِمْ غَضَبٌ مِنَ اللَّهِ وَلَهُمْ عَذَابٌ عَظِيمٌ

[An-Nahl 16:106]

" So the one who is coerced, if he is coerced into disbelief, is not declared a disbeliever. There is no difference between the disbelief he is coerced into being by speech or by action. As for the one who distinguishes between disbelief and action, there is no basis for his distinction, because the verse is general: "Whoever disbelieves in Allah after his belief." There is no difference. So if someone orders him to prostrate to one of the kings and he prostrates to remove the coercion, not to honor the king, he is not declared a disbeliever. Is that clear, everyone?
