Chapter on Apostasy
Man Lā Yaḥḍuruh al-Faqīh|Volume 3|Book 1|Chapter 54
وَ رَوَى حَمَّادٌ عَنِ اَلْحَلَبِيِّ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ: فِي اَلْمُرْتَدِّ عَنِ اَلْإِسْلاَمِ قَالَ "لاَ تُقْتَلُ وَ تُسْتَخْدَمُ خِدْمَةً شَدِيدَةً وَ تُمْنَعُ عَنِ اَلطَّعَامِ وَ اَلشَّرَابِ إِلاَّ مَا تُمْسِكُ بِهِ نَفْسَهَا وَ تُلْبَسُ أَخْشَنَ اَلثِّيَابِ وَ تُضْرَبُ عَلَى اَلصَّلَوَاتِ ".
Hammad narrated from Al-Halabi, from Abu Abdullah عليه السلام, regarding a person who apostasizes from Islam: "He is not to be killed but is to be subjected to hard labor, denied food and drink except what sustains his life, made to wear coarse clothing, and beaten to perform prayers."
