IRSYAD HUKUM SIRI KE-528 : BISIKAN MENYURUH UNTUK MELAFAZKAN KEKUFURAN
Must I recite the two shahadah again if I utter words of disbelief from whispers, without intending them?
Short answer
A person who utters words of disbelief without intent or unintentionally is not judged a disbeliever, and his shahadah is not invalidated.
A reference, not a fatwa. First sentence of the summary below — read the original fatwa and consult your state authority before acting.

Summary
A person who utters words of disbelief without intent or unintentionally is not judged a disbeliever, and his shahadah is not invalidated. He is therefore not required to recite the shahadah again. It is nevertheless recommended to do so for peace of mind, together with seeking forgiveness and protection from Allah against satanic whispers.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Seseorang yang melafazkan ayat-ayat kufur tanpa niat atau secara tidak sengaja tidak dihukumkan sebagai kafir dan tidak pula batal syahadahnya.
