What is the procedure for dealing with a person who has left Islam?
Answer
A person who has turned renegade in an Islamic state should be imprisoned for 3 days by the state. The state will be responsible to dispel all his doubts. If he repents, then he will be released from prison.
If he still rejects Islam, then he will be beheaded. However, in a non-Islamic state no legal action can be meted out to him, appropriate measures should be taken to dispel his doubts and convincing him to revert to Islam.

Fatawa SA is an independent, read-only index of fatawa already published by Darul Iftaa Mahmudiyyah (AskImam). It is not a fatwa service. For your own situation, ask the issuing Darul Ifta directly.
