"An apostate is one who abandons Islam and embraces another religion. According to the Shariah an apostate is open to homicide. Hence if some one kills him of his own accord he will not be accountable as a wilful murderer whether he kills him before or after allowing him the option to repent. For every excess in the state of apostasy is warrantable." — Adbul Qadir 'Oudah, Criminal Law of Islam, Vol. IV, . p. 19-20
