If someone kills him before Islam is presented to him it is disliked and nothing is due upon [the killer].
تحفة الملوكZayn al-Dīn al-Rāzīفصل ومَن ارتدَّ عرِضَ عليه الإسلام، وكشِفَت شبهته وحبس ثلاثةَ أيّام استحباباً، وقيل: وجوباً، فإن لم يسلم قتِل.
Chapter: The apostate — presentation of Islam, detention, and rulings
The female apostate is not executed; rather she is detained until she submits.
Likewise the discerning child.
ويزول ملك المرتدّ عن أمواله زوالاً موقوفاً، فإن أسلمَ عاد ملكه، وإن مات أو قتل فكسب إسلامه لورثته، وكسب ردّته فيءٌ.
The apostate’s ownership of wealth lapses in suspended fashion; if he returns to Islam ownership returns; if he dies or is executed what he earned as Muslim goes to heirs and earnings during apostasy are fayʾ.
ويَعتق مدبروه وأمهات أَولاده، وتَحِلّ الديون التي عليه.
His promised freedmen (mudabbar) and mothers of his children are freed; debts owed by him become lawful [to collect].
والمرتدة كسبها لورثتها.
The female apostate’s earnings go to her heirs.
ولحاقه بدار الحرب مع الحكم به كالموت.
His reaching enemy territory together with judgement thereof is treated like death.
وتصرّفات المرتد أقسام: نافذٌ: كالطّلاق والاستيلاد وقبول الهدية وإسقاط الشفعة.
The apostate’s acts fall into categories—effective: divorce, establishing lineage, accepting gifts, waiving pre-emption;
وباطل: كالنّكاح والذّبح.
void: marriage and slaughter;
وموقوف: كالمفاوضة، والبيع، والشراء، والرّهن، والإجارة، والهبة، والإعتاق، والتّدبير.
suspended: informal partnership, sale, purchase, pledge, lease, gift, immediate manumission, and tadbīr;
ولا تصحّ ردَّة مجنون وصبيٍّ وسكران لا يعقلان.
Apostasy of an insane person, child, or two intoxicated persons without discernment is not valid.
ويصحّ إسلام الصبيّ المميز.
The discerning child’s Islam is valid.
