The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "The blood of a Muslim, who confesses that La ilâha ill-Allâh (none has the right to be worshipped but Allâh) and that I am the Messenger of Allâh, cannot be shed except in three cases:1. Life for life (in cases of international murders without right i.e., in Al-Law of -- Equality in punishment); 2. A married person who commits illegal sexual intercourse; and 3. The one who turns renegade from Islâm (apostate) and leaves the group of Muslims (by innovating heresy, new ideas and new things etc. in the Islâmic religion). (See Fath Al-Bâri, Vol. 15, Page 220 for details)]. [9:17-O.B]
