One who speaks a word of disbelief then seeks Allah's forgiveness

Question:
If one speaks a word of disbelief and then seeks Allah's forgiveness immediately, is he required to perform the full ritual bath?

Answer:
No, he is not required to perform the full ritual bath. If he repents to Allah and seeks forgiveness with a valid repentance, that is sufficient. He does not need to perform the full ritual bath. However, as for the original disbeliever, the original disbeliever, the original disbeliever, if he repents, some scholars hold that he should perform the full ritual bath. This is because it is mentioned in a hadith: and he performed the full ritual bath. But the majority hold that even the original disbeliever, if he embraces Islam, is not ordered to perform the full ritual bath, because many people embraced Islam during the time of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) and he did not order them to perform the full ritual bath.
Yes, they say that apostasy invalidates the ablution, that is what they say. This is based on the view that the deeds of the apostate are invalidated, even if he repents, his deeds prior to the apostasy are invalidated, even if he repents. So if he repents, he starts anew. This is the view of some scholars.
The second view is that his deeds prior to the apostasy, if he repents, return to him and are not invalidated. So his ablution remains, his Hajj remains, and his good deeds return to him. And this is the correct view, because Allah said: This indicates that if he did not die while a disbeliever, but rather repented, his previous deeds are not nullified.
