timesofindia.indiatimes.com · October 12, 2026

CSPII Commentary: The hanging of the Iranian protester hours after his prison-phone wedding applies Koran 5:33 “The only reward of those who make war upon Allah and His messenger and strive after corruption in the land will be that they will be killed...," treating dissent as war against Allah and Mohammed until all worship is for Islam. This is the doctrinal basis for executing those who challenge the regime.

Jordanian Fatwa Council ruling on guardianship of an apostateJordanian Ifta Council Says Apostate ‘Deserves Death’ and Loses Guardianship

CSPII Commentary: Jordan’s Ifta Council held that an apostate has no guardianship over Muslim children. The council stated that an apostate “deserves death” under Islamic law unless he returns to Islam and is therefore treated as dead for family-law purposes; it supported removing the man from the family record after a Sharia-court apostasy ruling and separation from his Muslim wife. (from 2013)
