Abstract
This chapter is the second section of Kadivar’s ‘Treatise on Refuting the Punishment for Blasphemy and Apostasy’. Lankarani claimed: “Killing an apostate does not require a juridical ruling. Therefore, any Muslim can implement it.” Kadivar regarded this as a dangerous “terror fatwa” that is null and void from the perspective of both shar‘ and reason, and have warned him that its only possible aftermath is anarchy and social disorder. The chapter has three sections: Interrogating the Death Penalty for Apostasy, Analysis of the Death Penalty for Blasphemy, and What is the Position of the Jurists on one who Denigrates the Prophet? The death penalty for blasphemy and apostasy is supported by no more than two “isolated hadiths” (khabar al-wāḥid), both of which have strongly contested chains of transmission and indication. Such an important judgement cannot be supported by such extremely weak and shaky proofs. Thus, pronouncing the death penalty for blasphemy and apostasy in the absence of reliable proofs contradicts the shar‘, debilitates Islam and violates the Qur’anic dictates.
