The Ruling on Declaring a Muslim a Disbeliever

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. The questioner asks: Is declaring a Muslim a disbeliever a right for everyone, or is it necessary to have the ruling of the judge and the qadi regarding the person's apostasy?

Answer:
The specific case: It is not permissible to rule on someone's apostasy except by the court, by the qadi, by the qadi. This is because the ruling of his apostasy entails consequences: his wife is divorced from him, he does not inherit his wealth nor does he inherit from his relatives, and other rulings follow. Therefore, the ruling of the qadi on his apostasy is necessary. Yes.
