Fatwa #231722 February 2001United Kingdom

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.
