The ruling on returning a Muslim woman to her Christian family at the request of their state

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you, Honorable Shaykh. The questioner says: In some countries where Muslims reside and are the majority, along with some Christians, if a Christian woman converts to Islam, the state returns her to the Christians if they request it. What is the ruling on doing this?

Answer:
I say: If it is a Muslim state, it does not do this. But if it is a Christian state, the Christians act as they wish in their state.
