How does one deal with an apostate (murtadd)?

To deal with someone who has relapsed, one must understand the cause of their relapse, for the cure of every ailment lies in cutting off its cause. If it was due to a bad friend, advise them to leave that friend and replace them with righteous companions. If it was due to a misunderstanding of committed youth, explain to them that these individuals are humans who err and do good, and their actions do not represent the religion. This matter requires a deep understanding of the individual’s situation, and one can seek assistance from influential callers to Islam, for guiding one man to Allah is better than red camels.
