What is the ruling on one who completed the words of a blasphemous song out of shyness, and is that considered an act of disbelief (kufr)? And how does one fulfill the condition of remorse for repentance from this act, especially given the difficulty of remaining silent out of shyness, and is a feeling of distress and sadness sufficient for the remorse of one who did not think of a response at the time?

The speaker is afflicted with Waswasa (obsessive doubts) and does not judge himself to be a disbeliever unless there is absolute certainty. Narrating disbelief is not disbelief, but he sins by not enjoining good and forbidding evil. Repentance is achieved by ceasing the sin, regretting it, and resolving not to return to it. Repentance from disbelief is by uttering the two Shahadas if disbelief has been actualized. Modesty before Allah must be prioritized over modesty before anyone else, and one should not be ashamed to forbid evil and clarify the Sharia in an appropriate manner.
