The document discusses whether Islam justifies the death penalty for apostates. It outlines how Islamic law is derived from the Quran and hadiths. It explains that apostasy traditionally carries the death penalty under Islamic law. However, the document argues that some verses in the Quran emphasize forgiveness and do not mandate death. It also questions the interpretations of hadiths used to justify death. The document concludes that freedom of religion is a fundamental Islamic principle and the concept of apostasy has been confused with treason - the death penalty is not justified.

This document provides an introduction to Usul al-Fiqh, the methodology of Islamic jurisprudence. It defines Usul al-Fiqh, discusses its subject matter and benefits. It also outlines the origins and development of Usul al-Fiqh, describing how it emerged from other Islamic sciences like logic, linguistics, theology and jurisprudence. The document notes that the two primary sources of Islamic law are the Quran and the Sunnah of the Prophet Muhammad. During the Prophet's lifetime, all rulings were derived from these two sources, with the Sahaba also practicing Ijtihad or independent reasoning.

Fresh out of law graduate school in 2002, I was still feeling my way into the professional mainstream. With so much time in my hands and still deciding on how I would restart my career, I thought that perhaps a part-time lecturing job will suit me at that time. It was an avenue for me to reintegrate myself to the legal profession after being out of the country for almost two years. The new millennium was just starting and it was a time for digital transition for a lot of profession. Legal was one of those rapidly adapting to the change.

governed by Islamic law. Islamic law still plays an important role in forming the
basis of any Muslim legal system and is regarded as one of the major legal
systems in the world today. Islamic law does not only regulate the religious affairs
but also talks about the daily life issues such as marriages, divorceand succession.
Islamic law is primarily regarded as a religious law. Most encyclopedias define
shariah as law derived fromthe Qur'an, the Sunna, and classical fiqh derived from
consensus (ijma) and analogy (qiyas).
This definition of shariah inappropriately lumps together the revealed with the
unrevealed. This blending of sources has created a muddled assumption that
scholarly interpretations are as sacred and beyond revision as are the Quran and
the Sunna. The Qur’an is regarded as a divine book by all the Muslims and it is the
duty of every Muslim to submit to its commands. Many verses of the Quran have
been interpreted and given legal perspectives which are now the principle of
Sharia law. The Sunnah of the Prophet (P.B.U.H) is regarded the second most
supreme source of the Sharia law and many people see it as the practical
application of the principles of the Qur’an. It comprises of the practices of the
Prophet (P.B.U.H) that were recorded and collected together and are referred to
as ahadiths.
As we have seen whatare the basic sources of the Islamic law so we mustnow
turn to the question as to what is apostasy?
Apostasy is the formal disaffiliation, or abandonmentor renunciation of religion
by a person. Onewho commits apostasy is an apostate (Murtid). According to the
traditional/orthodox Islamic position (as usual, with varying opinions), apostasy is
punishableby death. Male apostates receive capital punishmentand female
apostates receive life imprisonment,1
unless they repent. Both the Sunni schools
1 Typical ofmost aspects of Islamic law, andcontraryto the popular claims or assertions, there is noconsensus onsuch issues.
In this case, one of the prominent Maliki jurists, Ibn Rushddoes not differentiate between male and female inregard to the
punishment for apostasy. (1994) 'BidayatuMujtahidwaNihayatulMuqtasid', , vol 2(), pp. 383 [Online]. Available at:http://al-

of thought and also the twelve Shia schools areof the view that death is the
punishmentfor the crime of apostasy. All the four Sunni schools of thought were
together on the point that the crime of apostasy is punishableby death but the
only but the only issuewas of having a different point of view regarding the fact
that whether he/she is to be killed at once or must be given a chance to repent.
Repentance can be regarded as an issueof contention in the Islamic legal
discourseon apostasy. However, thereis also so much disagreement about this.
Abu Hanifa as well as Hanafimadhhab in general considers asking apostates to
repent as only desirable.2
The four Imams of the Sunnischools believe that it is
obligatory to kill a person whoseapostasy againstIslamis proven.
If welook at another aspect of apostasy wewill be able to see that in Christianity
also points towards death as we can see in the verseof the old testament " If your
very own brother, or your son or daughter, or the wife you love, or your closest
friend secretly entices you, saying: Let us go and worship other gods(godsthat
neither you nor your fathershave known, godsof the peoplesaround you,
whether near or far, from one end of the land to the other, or godsof other
religions), do not yield to him or listen to him. Show him no pity. Do not spare him
or shield him. You must certainly put him to death. Your hand must be the first in
putting him to death, and then the handsof all the people.”3
However, itis not
dealt as strictly in Christianity as it is in Islam.
The real question to ask is whether such capital punishmentis justified under the
Islamic law. If such punishments can be seen as justified then how can a person
be given a chance to repent towards the true religion or as for forgiveness.
“Except those WHOREPENT AFTER THAT AND AMEND, then surely Allah is
Forgiving, Merciful.”4
As wecan see that according to IslamGod has the ultimate
power to punish or forgivea person for any sin how small or big it in the hereafter
and this can be seen as an issueof disagreement among many of Islamic jurists
and scholars. Scholars likeIbrahimal-Nakha'iand Sufyan al-Thawrihave rejected
2 Marghinani, Hidaya, vol. 2, pp. 871-872. In al-Sarim al-Maslul, p. 321, Ibn Taymiyya attributesthis viewto the whole Hanafi
madhhab.

the death penalty for an apostate and given the opinion that the punishment
should be imprisonment until repentance. Another verseof the Qur’an translated
Behold, as for those who come to believe, and then deny the truth, and again
come to believe, and again deny the truth, and thereafter grow stubborn in their
denial of truth — God will not forgivethem, nor will guide them in any way.5
Many of the scholars who arein favor of death penalty for apostasy basetheir
view on the Hadiths which are the oral communications of the Holy Prophet
(PBUH) and it can be seen that the punishmentfor the crime of apostasy is indeed
death. Some examples of which can be seen as Narrated ‘Abdullah: Allah’s
Apostle said, “The blood of a Muslim who confesses that none hasthe right to be
worshipped butAllah and that I am His Apostle, cannotbe shed except in three
cases: In Qisas for murder, a married person who commitsillegal sexual
intercourse and the one who revertsfrom Islam (apostate) and leaves the
Muslims.”6
At another instance it can be seen Narrated Ikrima: Ali burnt some
people and the news reached Ibn’Abbas, who said, “had I been in his place I would
not have burntthem, as the prophetsaid, ‘don’tpunish anybody with Allah’s
punishment.’No doubtI would have killed them, if somebody (asMuslim) discards
his religion kill him.”7
An issuethat needs discussion hererelates to the punishment of this crime. As we
can see fromthe abovementioned narrations that there is contention on this
point as on one hand Hadith literature refer to death penalty at someinstances.
But on the other hand the Qur’an only talks about God’s punishment not in this
world but the hereafter. Many people argue on the authentication and credibility
of the Hadith literature that whether they relate to the Holy Prophet (P.B.U.H). A
hadith is the practices and precedents set by the Prophet (P.B.U.H) which were
narrated and were interpreted by other scholars. Itwould bearrogantof to say
that they made mistakes while interpreting them but it can be argued that the
original interpretation and what the Prophet’s (P.B.U.H) messagewas could have
been misinterpreted.

The Nasr Abu Zayd case can be seen as a key ruling on this issue. For the first time
the courtgave the definition of the crime of apostasy and how it can be
committed. It was defined as “a clear declaration of unbelief (kufr)” by a Muslim.8
In the light of the above mentioned words it can be seen that proclamation of
being an apostate by a Muslim is a requirement. Only Muslims who openly
declare can be regarded as an apostate. In the words of the court: Merely
believing the mentioned [unbelief] is not considered apostasy, unlessit is
embodied in wordsor actions. According to the majority of the Muslim legal
scholars, among them the Hanafis, it suffices to consider a person an apostate
once he deliberately speaksor acts in unbelief, as long as he meant to be
degrading, contemptuous, obstinate, or mocking.9
TheCourtbased its decision of
regarding him as an apostate the fact that certain publications by Abu Zayd in his
capacity as a professor of Arabic language an Islamic Studies at the Liberal Arts
Faculty of Cairo University wherehe was teaching Quranic Sciences which lead to
him being guilty of blasphemy and ultimately apostasy.
In my humble opinion and in context of the above discussion I think that there
should be no restriction on following of any religion of this world and also as a
Muslim I believe that subject to certain misinterpretations of some scholars the
concept of apostasy in Islam is portrayed as one of the harsh concepts and this
harshness according to my humble opinion should be mitigated. Also as we can
see that Islamplaces no restrictions on the choosing of a religion other than Islam
and this can be traced back to the following verse. “Let there be no compulsion in
religion: Truth stands out clear from Error: whoever rejects evil and believes in
Allah hasgrasped the most trustworthy.”10
In thelight of an article by Mohammad
Omar Farooq11
it can be seen that over the years this concept has been confused
with treason. It would not be wrong to say that this goes against the fundamental
principles of Islam as Mohammad Omar Farooq also highlights that freedom of
religion is an essential part of Islam. A Pakistani Islamic scholar Javed Ahmad

Ghamidi writes that punishment for apostasy was part of Divine punishment for
only those who denied the truth even after clarification in its ultimate form by
Muhammad (he uses term Itmam al-hujjah), hence, he considers this command
for a particular time and no longer punishable.12
At many instances different views havebeen come into light relating to this
concept. This misunderstanding of the significance of the word apostasy in the
Qur’an and the punishmentassigned to it in the Hadith of the Prophet (PBUH)
destroyed in the classicaljurisprudencethe basis of the Islamic conceptof
tolerance and human responsibility.13
In an article by Abdul Rehman Abdul Talib
wherehe has justified the punishmentof apostasy by saying that “it will change
the true nature of Islam, as Islamis a way of life which encompasses many
aspects”.14
According to Dr. Ahmad Shaffat, he does not see death penalty in line
with the rules prescribed by God Qur’an as it doesn’tspecify death penalty on the
crime of apostasy and according to him God never intended such penalty to be
included in the Sharia.15
If wetry to look at this punishment under the Human Rights perspectivewe can
easily criticize this as being very harsh as no one has a right to kill people for
letting go of their practice of Islamas it goes against the very nature of Islam.
Many organizations havebeen made world over to cater to this concern. The
council for ex-Muslims16
was created for this very reason to providecounseling
and rehabilitation services to the people who have left Islamas they may be in
danger not only in their own country but also in foreign countries. An important
case in relation to this discussion is the Afghan case of Abdul Rahman.17

converted to Christianity. Itwas argued by many that it was an attack on Islam
and it was nothing but asking for a death penalty, but as this issuedrew the
attention of public as it was highlighted and heavily reported therefore he was
released on the ground of freedom of religion.
In my humble opinion a person should not be forced to follow any religion
whatsoever and it is againstthe freedomof religion and no one should be subject
to threat of harm or death for expressing his/her own wishes as it also goes
against the true wishes of Islam. Theremustbe, above all, a liberty in religion, the
virtue that will vindicate the rights of men and securethe honor of the family;
that will encourageeducation and make it thrive. Liberty is the soulof religion.
Doubtless, liberty is the dearestthing to man after his life. To lose it is to banish
hope, and check labor; to let the soulexpire, the laws die and the rules are
transgressed."18
Thecruxof the abovediscussion suggests thatit is only the
interpretation of many scholars thatrelates to the death penalty for an apostate
and it is therefore suggested here that the killing of an apostate does not seem to
be justified as it stands againstthe freedomof thought and religion and also
against the true spirit of the Islamic jurisprudence.
