How Islam deals with Apostacy. https://www.facebook.com/share/r/175koAYrdC/ 1. What is Apostacy in Islam? Apostasy in Islam, defined as abandoning the Islamic faith, is a complex issue with diverse interpretations within Islamic law and varying perspectives across different Muslim communities and legal systems. While some interpretations, particularly those rooted in classical Islamic law, suggest a death penalty for apostasy, particularly when combined with treason, others emphasize freedom of religion and the importance of individual conscience. 2. Apostasy from Islam under Sharia law Tommaso Virgili* Conversion from Islam to another religion or to atheism, in religious terms defined as "apostasy", is at the same time both an undisputable fundamental right, pertaining to freedom of religion as enshrined in many national constitutions and international treaties, and one of the most sensitive issues in sharia law and, consequently, in the legislation of contemporary Muslim states. Sharia law, as emerges from the analysis of its primary sources, is not univocal when it comes to freedom of religion: in the Quran and the Sunna one may find totally contradictory statements, ranging from clearly enunciated principles of spiritual liberty, to draconian penalties for those who dare to abandon Islam. This is explicable in historical terms with the different phases which characterized the "revelation", in fact the different phases of the Prophet's life as spiritual messenger, politician and warrior. The interpretation largely prevailing both among classical jurists and still today, in doctrine and law, aimed at forbidding and harshly punishing apostasy, is mainly the outcome of a conceptual fusion between religion and state, whereby the disown of the former is also treason against the latter. However, liberal Muslim voices exist to denounce this blatant violation of human rights which may be also seen as nonobservance of the Quranic message. |
