Abstract
In Islamic law, apostasy is studied in different chapters, such as those governing bargains and contracts, punishments, will and inheritance, marriage and divorce, and international law. Apostasy is examined from different perspectives, taking into consideration the conditions of how someone becomes an apostate, its impact on the legal dispositions made by such individuals, the conditions of implementation of its punishment, as well as any crimes committed against the apostate concerned. This chapter focuses on the question why apostasy is studied in Islamic law and in particular why it is a matter of Islamic international law in ?anafi legal texts. It examines the purpose behind prescribing a punishment for such conduct. The chapter also outlines the classification of subjects in Islamic legal texts. Keywords:Ḥanafī legal texts; apostasy; islamic international law; Islamic legal texts
