Preparing and shrouding an apostate (murtadd)

Question

Inayat Khan brought Dhuri Bai, a new Muslim, into Islam and married her; from him she has a son named Ghulam Muhammad; there are two sisters. Now Dhuri Bai has declared: “I will now go back to the Hindu religion; I have no connection with Islam.” Qasim Khan, who was her second husband — Dhuri Bai had him burned too. Should we now keep up relations with Dhuri Bai or not?

Answer

Because Dhuri Bai has left Islam and adopted the Hindu religion, all her deeds from the period when she was in Islam have been nullified. If she does not repent and accept Islam again, she deserves Hell forever. No relationship of affection of any kind with her is permissible.
