Question:
Are there established conditions for the establishment of apostasy?
Answer:
The conditions for apostasy are that the person not be ignorant, and that he not be excused by ignorance. This is because something must have reached him, or he must have lived in an environment far from Muslims and not heard anything, and nothing must have reached him. In such a case, he is not judged to be an apostate until it is clarified to him and explained to him that this is shirk (associating partners with Allah) and major shirk.
