What is the ruling on thinking about formulating infidel sentences found in movies while translating them, with the intention of perfecting the translation, and is a person held accountable for what he says to himself? And if it is ruled that whoever does that is an infidel, is it obligatory for him to know the conditions of "Lā ilāha illallāh" (there is no god but Allah), or is it sufficient to know the meaning of the two testimonies and affirm them? And is it obligatory to know the meaning of the word "ashhadu" (I bear witness)?

The blasphemous words and self-talk that cross one's mind do not incur accountability as long as a person's belief is sound and they disavow such thoughts. However, engaging in the hobby of translating films that contain impermissible (haram) content is not permissible. One can enrich their language skills by translating from documentaries and lectures. The meaning of the Shahada (testimony of faith) and the conditions of "La ilaha illa Allah" (There is no god but Allah) must be known generally, but detailed knowledge is not required for the general Muslim populace. The meaning of the word "ashhad" (I bear witness) revolves around knowledge and belief. Its stages are: knowledge and belief in the truthfulness of what is being witnessed, then uttering it, then informing others about it, and then obliging them to its content.
