What are the procedures and steps that should be taken to help a Christian girl who has announced her conversion to Islam after being invited to it, knowing that she fears her family and community, and is not more than fifteen years old?
We recommend being diligent in inviting others to Islam, while being careful that Satan does not enter through the gates of good. The woman can be guided to an Islamic association or messages can be sent to her to encourage steadfastness. One must be careful not to consider converting to Christianity if unable to refute a specious argument, for a debate may be won by the person with strong rhetorical skills, not necessarily the one with the stronger argument. Abd al-Razzaq said: "Indeed, religion is not for the one who prevails." Malik mentioned that religion is one, and whoever makes his religion a target for disputes will frequently change. One must avoid attributing disbelief to anything, and we recommend acquiring knowledge, especially the science of creed.
