Freedom may refer to human freedom, which preserves a person's dignity, honor, and wealth. Islam has established the foundations for this type, and there is no objection to using the term "freedom" in this sense. Freedom may also refer to bestial freedom, which takes a person outside the and makes them live an animalistic life to satisfy their desires. The Sharia rejects this type and strongly recoils from it.
