The ruling on one who is commanded to do good and says, "I am free"

Question:
Some people, when you command them to do good or forbid them from evil, one of them says: "I am free, what business is it of yours, and you are not going into the grave with me." We ask for clarification on this, and the limits of the freedom permitted in light of the saying of Allah the Exalted: [al-Baqarah:256].
Likewise, some people, when you command them or forbid them from an evil, such as some media outlets and the like, say: "If there were something wrong with it, the state would not have allowed it," and the like?

Answer:
This is an error. His saying, "I am free," is an error. This is a Satanic phrase that is not permissible. One is not free to leave what Allah has made obligatory or to do what Allah has forbidden. One is free to dispose of his wealth, to sell and buy, if he is of sound mind; he is free in these matters. But in committing the sins of Allah or in leaving what Allah has made obligatory, he is not free. Rather, he must be bound by the religion, adhere to the religion, and not contradict what Allah has prescribed. His brothers must rebuke him if he transgresses the limits, leaves the obligatory duties, or some of the obligatory duties, or commits some of the prohibitions. He is not free. Rather, it is obligatory to rebuke him, and he must be bound by the Shari'ah of Allah. Allah the Sublime says: [al-Baqarah:229].
And regarding sins, He says: [al-Baqarah:187]. So the believer is commanded, and the Muslim is commanded, to adhere to the limits and not transgress the limits, to be bound by the Shari'ah of Allah, and to stay away from the prohibitions of Allah. As for his saying, "I am free, you are not in the grave with me," this is an error. This speech is among the schemes of Satan. Satan would wish that everyone said this, so that one would not accept from his brother—may Allah keep us safe.
Likewise, the saying of some people: "If this were an evil, it would not have entered the country, or the state would not have approved it," this is an error. The state is not infallible. It may commit errors and mistakes like others. Something may enter unnoticed by it, and there may be things among the people that the state has not permitted.

The intended meaning : The state is not the standard. The standard is what Allah and His Messenger said. The state may err, may make mistakes, and may disobey. It is not infallible, and it is not a proof in permitting what Allah has forbidden, nor in abolishing what Allah has made obligatory. This is what only an ignorant person who does not know the Shari'ah says. The Shari'ah is: Allah said, His Messenger said, and not what such-and-such a state or such-and-such a state said.
