The ruling on burying an apostate after he is killed

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, we know that one who insults Allah (Mighty and Majestic) or His Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) is killed in any case, but if he embraces Islam and repents and is killed, is he treated as the dead of the Muslims in terms of the rulings of the funeral?

Answer:
No, if an apostate is killed, he is treated as a disbeliever. He is not buried in the Muslim cemeteries. He is not washed, not shrouded, no funeral prayer is performed for him, and he is not buried in the Muslim cemeteries. Rather, a distant burial site is prepared for him, far from the town, where he is buried.
