He was charged of adopting Takfiri ideology that violates the Holy Qur’an and the Sunnah. He was also charged of disobeying the ruler due to his belief that it is permissible to travel to regions of turmoil without permission of the ruler.
He also saved banned materials in his computer and other devices.
