4. Ibn Mahbub has narrated from al-‘ Ala’ ibn Razin from Muhammad ibn Muslim who has narrated the following:

“I once asked abu Ja’far , about an apostate (one who turns away from Islam). He (the Imam) said, ‘If one turns away from Islam and rejects what Allah has revealed to Muhammad ﷺ, after his being a Muslim, his repentance has no effect. (After judicial due process) executing him is obligatory, his wife becomes stranger to him like an irrevocably divorced woman and his assets are distributed among his children.’”
