The questioner : If, for example, a knowledgeable person confesses to what he believes, is he killed as an apostate?
The Shaykh : If a knowledgeable person confesses to what he believes, and his belief is as I mentioned, then if he repents, believes, and submits to Islam, the execution is lifted from him, and the ruling of disbelief is lifted; otherwise, he is killed as a disbeliever and apostate. He is not washed, not shrouded, not prayed over, and not buried with the Muslims.
