The ruling on one who claims prophethood if he repents before being captured
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you, Honorable Shaykh. This questioner says: Is one who claims prophethood asked to repent if he is captured? And if one claims prophethood and then shows a return from it, is that accepted from him, or is the hadd established against him?
Answer:
If he repents before he is captured, he is spared, just as it was for Talhah al-Asadi (may Allah be pleased with him), just as it was for the Faj'ah of Tamim when she repented. So if he repents before being captured, he is spared. But if he is captured and does not repent until after he is captured, the hadd is established against him; the hadd of apostasy is established against him. The apostate has the hadd of apostasy established against him. Yes.
