2536. It was narrated from Bahz bin Hakim, from his father, from his grandfather that the Messenger of Allâh ﷺ said: "Allâh will not accept any good deed from a polytheist who committed polytheism after having become Muslim, until he leaves the polytheists and joins the Muslims." (Hasan)
2536 - حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو أُسَامَةَ، عَنْ بَهْزِ بْنِ حَكِيمٍ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنْ جَدِّهِ قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «لَا يَقْبَلُ اللَّهُ مِنْ مُشْرِكٍ أَشْرَكَ بَعْدَ مَا أَسْلَمَ، عَمَلًا حَتَّى يُفَارِقَ الْمُشْرِكِينَ إِلَى الْمُسْلِمِينَ»

Change of religion mean to leave Islam and accept another religion. If a Jew converts to Christianity or a Magus becomes a Jew it does not fall under the sense of change of religion. If an apostate repents sincerely, and leaves the disbelievers, and embraces Islam, then there is no death penalty for him.
