Is it a condition for an apostate that his Islam was established, and is one who calls upon al-Badawi and al-Husayn considered an apostate?

Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, is it a condition for an apostate that his Islam was established as valid Islam, and then he apostatizes after that?

Answer:
We do not go around investigating hearts; we act based on what is apparent. We act based on what is apparent. If he prays, fasts, and walks with the Muslims, he is a Muslim, and we do not say his Islam is hidden. He says: And what about a child whose parents say, "There is no god but Allah," but he calls upon al-Badawi and al-Husayn, or he has been calling upon al-Badawi and al-Husayn since his upbringing? Is this person even a Muslim in the first place? The one who calls upon al-Hasan and al-Husayn is not a Muslim in the first place; he is not a Muslim. He grew up on shirk (associating partners with Allah), may Allah protect us from that. If he repents, Allah will accept his repentance. His Muslim parents do not benefit him; it does not benefit him if he is calling upon al-Hasan and al-Husayn, even if his parents are among the most righteous of people, that does not benefit him. Yes.
