Apostasy Laws

Re: Apostasy Laws

I did go over the context and the Quran seems to be referring to hypocrites directly afterwards and not people who overtly turn away from Islam. Still not certain.

But I will add that I don’t believe a child of a muslim is automatically a muslim when they attain adulthood. When I posted the apostasy case link someone on my facebook answered my question where I asked whether the woman had been a muslim prior to the marriage or was it just an assumption by the community someone answered that if it was written on her birth certificate she must be. :smack:

Religion isn’t a caste, creed situation but a matter of faith. No matter what a person’s parents are if they don’t believe then they don’t believe. The End. If a person follows Islamic conventions for the sake of the society even that is not proof the person is a muslim (like not eating in public for the fear of their peer’s judgement). I would only truly call someone an apostate if they explicitly state without any external pressure that they’re a muslim after they attain majority and then turn away from what they promised.
