Apostasy has NO punishment in Islam: A Qur'an & Sunnah Analysis by Mufti Abu Layth

In this video Mufti Abu Layth clarifies the widely held misconception that a person is eligible for punishment if they leave Islam. Using clear evidence from the Quran and Sunnah, we see that the freedom to believe or disbelieve is a God given right.

If no one has the freedom to believe, then this life would be pointless.

May you persevere in the good that you are doing and may God protect you. Jazak Allahu Khayran.

Assalamwaikum Mufti. ..Wow you say things way better than most of the scholars....people often criticised you because the way you dressed and they call you hypocrite..They have same mentality of extremist. Allah don't judge you base on appearance. Allah judge you what is there inside your heart..Allah will surely reward you and grant you paradise..I acknowledge you and truly deserve to be greatest Mufti...

In fact, the prophet made an agreement with Quraish that he will hand the apostate over to them, meaning he will not kill them..

[@milad0823]

This deserves way more views

[@AbuDurum]

The point about that these ahadiith, even if for the sake of argument were assumed sahih, then they are still khabar ahaad which doesnt give certainty, and can it really be reasonable to kill people based upob uncertainty? That is such a powerful point of critique against the people who say otherwise.

I think we need a takbeeer for malm

Selam alaykum, I have heard that Imam Abu Hanifa did not support the death penalty (except in murder). Are you able to comment on this. If this is the case then it would answer a lot of questions about whether there is a death penalty in Islam for adultery, apostasy and homosexuality. May Allah guide the truth seekers.

excellent! ..maasha'Allah..

[@zeeshanmahmood8465]

Watch all the haters come after the Mufti for this...

[@tsgillespiejr]

Zeeshan Mahmood This is a solid issue though. Shaykh Atabek did a lesson on it years ago, I don't remember any haters gunning for him.

[@antiochorontes6374]

@@tsgillespiejr There's a lecture of him on youtube where he affirms the death penalty and cites the fatwa of ibn abideen without objecting to it. So does this mean shaykh Atabek only became a true hanafi(tm) recently?

[@kimabunuh6762]

Did the prophet not have the right to forego the hadd punishment if it served a greater purpose / maslahah? I am really asking here

[@kimabunuh6762]

So some scholars say that Ali burned them AFTER they were dead and some say he only intended to burn them.

You are awesome!!

[@mrtaz4340]

We need secular Islam and not Dawah Man's extremist Islam.

What do you say about this narration/chain? When Mu'adh reached the camp of Abu Musa, the latter (received him and) said: Please get yourself down; and he spread for him a mattress, while there was a man bound hand and foot as a prisoner. Mu'adh said: Who is this? Abu Musa said: He was a Jew. He embraced Islam. Then he reverted to his false religion and became a Jew. Mu'adh said: I won't sit until he is killed according to the decree of Allah and His Apostle (ﷺ) (in this case). Abu Musa said: Be seated. It will be done. He said: I won't sit unless he is killed in accordance with the decree of Allah and His Apostle (ﷺ). He repeated these words thrice. Then Abu Musa ordered him (to be killed) and he was kilied. Then the two talked of standing in prayer at night. One of them, i. e. Mu'adh, said: I sleep (for a part of the night) and stand in prayer (for a part) and I hope that I shall get the same reward for steeping as I shall get for standing (in prayer). Sahih muslim 1733
