APOSTASY; JUSTIFIABLE CAUSE OR EXCUSE

Islamic criminal code, influenced by Figh, has put especial criminal legislations on apostate as an instance of mahdoor-al-dam. "Being deserved to be killed" is title that based on it punishment of murder is changed and retaliation is removed. Equalizing all instances of mahdoor-al-dam in different legislation is a mistake that some make. In this article, this is proved that on a base of Sharia apostate is relative mahdoor-al-dam and only legal authorities have a right to punish him and if others kill him, his behaviors cant be put under justifiable cause or plausible excuse then mitigation is the only credible base that is accepted by legislation.
