Is someone's statement, "Two men and one brother," and another's objection, "That is too much for me"—with the objector understanding that he means to have a brother—an objection to God's decree? And what is the ruling on reading words of disbelief without uttering them? And is there a disagreement regarding whether one who reads words of disbelief—but does not utter them—is considered a disbeliever?
The aforementioned statement does not constitute an objection to Allah's decree. Reading or hearing phrases of disbelief (kufr) does not lead to apostasy from the religion, unless the reader or listener is pleased with, affirms, or believes in them.
