Bismillah
absolutely not.. we just cannot end a human life just coz they left islam.. Allah will judge them on qayamah.. simple as that..
Brother, this is not what Prophet of Allah (sal-allahu alayhi wa sallam) said neither his companions (may Allah be pleased with them) understood it this way. Unless you have some Islamic sources to back yourself otherwise I advise you to fear Allah and rectify from your statement.
no compulsion remember, welcome someone when they join, wish them best and hope they find their path and calling if someone leaves.
brother, no complusion in religon has nothing to do with apostasy. It has to do with not forcing non-Muslims to enter into Islam And your statements do not match the ruling of Islam and sunnah of Allah's Messenger (sal-allahu alayhi wa sallam).
that is right.
no, it is not
I do not believe in sluaghtering those who leave the fold, unless they have left Islam as apostates who will deliberately try thier best to ruin us, militant apostates who take up arms should be met with the same mercy they show thier victims...... none whatsoever.
no such condition has been mentioned in the shari'ah
This poll is meaningless and these questions shouldn't be asked to common people who have no knowledge of Islamic Law.
agreed upon but yet again you go ahead anyway and present the modernist version of Islamic ruling. It is odd that you call yourself a traditionalist yet time after time you present modernist version of Islam.
The punishments in Shariah are according to the severity of the crime so not every apostate will get death penalty and not every adulterer will be stonned to death, same goes for the thief.
So not every kind of apostasy and zina are severe? I am open to correction; so, could you please quote me view of early scholars in support of what you just said?
also according to the sayings of the Prophet Muhammad(SAW) apostasy is a crime only when it's combined with treason.
please quote that saying of the Prophet (sal-allahu alayhi wa sallam) along with understanding of traditionalist scholars, jazak Allah khayr. In Islam, apostasy itself is a treason and under an Islamic state an apostate is put to death if he doesn't repent whether his apostasy is accompanied by treason or no treason; there is an ijmaa upon this as number of scholars have quoted it. It is strange that you are a hanafi muqalid but there is nothing in hanafi fiqh which says that apostate is killed only when he commits a treason. As usual, you are always clinging to odd and moderate opinions. This is what Imam al-Awza'i (rahimahullah) have to say about people like you: "He who traces the strange opinions of the scholars is out of Islam. You would find a scholar with a lot of knowledge and value, and also with a pitfall. So if a person was to collect the pitfalls of all the scholars and form a new Madhab, then what kind of ‘Ilm would you have?"
THERE IS NO INSTRUCTION TO MURDER/KILL APOSTATES.
there are number of ahadith which disagree with what you are saying.
The death penalty is for the execution for those who commit TREASON.
In other words, those who pretend to accept Islam for a while for the sole purpose of attempting to overthrow the state.
like I have mentioned above, no such condition is found in the shari'ah.
the holy quran also tells us to fatten our horses so that they r prepared for war.. so should we discard all the nuclear weapons and start training horses??
the apparent meaning of that ayah is very clear which is that we need to prepare our weapons before we go in a battle with our enemies.
we're just trying to interpret islamic laws correctly and fairly.. that's all..
and you are in no position to do that! What Islamic qualification do you have that you feel that you are able to interpret Islamic laws?
and Allah knows best
