ʿAbd Allāh ibn Masʿūd reported that the Messenger of Allah said: “The blood of a Muslim who testifies that there is no god but Allah and that I am the Messenger of Allah is not lawful except in one of three cases: a previously married adulterer, a life for a life, and one who abandons his religion and separates from the community.” Reports on this subject are also narrated from ʿUthmān, ʿĀʾishah, and Ibn ʿAbbās. Ibn Masʿūd’s hadith is ḥasan ṣaḥīḥ.
