4062. It was narrated from Ibn 'Umar that 'Uthman said: “I heard the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ say: 'It is not permissible to shed the blood of a Muslim except in three cases: A man who commits adultery after having married; or one who kills intentionally, in which case he deserves retaliation; or one who apostatizes after having become Muslim, in which case he deserves to be killed.” (Hasan)
٤٠٥٧ - أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو الْأَزْهَرِ أَحْمَدُ بْنُ الْأَزْهَرِ النَّيْسَابُورِيُّ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا إِسْحَاقُ بْنُ سُلَيْمَانَ الرَّازِيُّ، قَالَ: أَنْبَأَنَا الْمُغِيرَةُ بْنُ مُسْلِمٍ، عَنْ مَطَرٍ الْوَرَّاقِ ، عَنْ نَافِعٍ ، عَنِ ابْنِ عُمَرَ ، أَنَّ عُثْمَانَ، قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، يَقُولُ: «لَا يَحِلُّ دَمُ امْرِئٍ مُسْلِمٍ إِلَّا بِإِحْدَى ثَلَاثٍ: رَجُلٌ زَنَى بَعْدَ إِحْصَانِهِ، فَعَلَيْهِ الرَّجْمُ، أَوْ قَتَلَ عَمْدًا، فَعَلَيْهِ الْقَوَدُ، أَوِ ارْتَدَّ بَعْدَ إِسْلَامِهِ، فَعَلَيْهِ الْقَتْلُ».

If an apostate adheres to his apostasy, then there is a general consensus that he would be killed. Abû Bakr ﷺ, the successor of the Messenger of Allâh ﷺ, fought against the apostates. Not a single Companion raised a protest against it. In other words, there is consensus of the Companions over this matter.
