Question:
May Allah reward you, Honorable Shaykh. This questioner asks: Is an apostate from the religion called to repent?
Answer:
Yes. In one type of apostasy, such as cursing Allah or His Messenger, or in the case of a sorcerer, they say he is not called to repent because even if he displays repentance, he is not sincere; he becomes a hypocite. As for the other types of apostasy, he is called to repent for three days. Yes.
