The Ruling on the Repentance of an Apostate and a Disbeliever
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
If someone commits an act of disbelief or utters a statement of disbelief, is it obligatory for me to ask him to pronounce the word of tawhid (the oneness of Allah), the two testimonies of faith, and then explain it to him? Or is it the other way around?
Answer:
This will be addressed, if Allah wills. The repentance of every apostate and disbeliever is the testimony that there is no god but Allah and that Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah. If his apostasy was due to denying something of the religion, then along with the two testimonies, he must affirm what he denied. This will be explained, if Allah wills.
