Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, does apostasy before consummation of the marriage invalidate the contract, such that it must be renewed?

Answer:
Yes, if he commits apostasy, may Allah protect us from it, his marriage is annulled and he must be called to repent. If he repents while she is still in the waiting period, she returns to him. If he repents while she is still in the waiting period, she returns to him. If the waiting period ends and he has not repented, then she is divorced from him. Yes.
