Killing a murtad

· 13 Shawwal 1439 AH1 min readEnglish

Question

I want to know the ruling for people leaving Islam. Should we kill them? Also please tell me what Quran says about a murtad? Why do people leave Islam eventhough they know the truth?

Answer

This law does not apply in a non Muslim country.

And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
