The comment of some sinners, “I am free to do what I want”
Question: 41638
Some sinners, when we denounce them for their sin, say: “I am free to do what I want.” Are these words correct?.
Praise be to Allah, and peace and blessings be upon the Messenger of Allah and his family.
Shaykh Muhammad ibn ‘Uthaymeen (may Allaah have mercy on him) said:
“This is wrong. We say: You are not free to disobey Allaah, rather if you disobey your Lord you can no longer call yourself a slave of Allaah because you have become enslaved to the Shaytaan and to whims and desires.”
