Is it obligatory for the apostate's relatives and others to inform the ruler of their testimony regarding his apostasy, and are they sinful if they do not do so, and what is the meaning of the Hadith, "Forgive one another the prescribed penalties among yourselves"?

Whoever learns of a Muslim's apostasy must advise them and explain their error. If they persist in their apostasy, their case must be brought before the legitimate ruler to purify society. The Permanent Committee has issued a fatwa stating that insulting Allah and His Messenger, and abandoning prayer are major acts of disbelief (kufr akbar). Reporting becomes more imperative if the apostate openly declares their apostasy and calls others to it, due to its significant corruption. Jurists have exempted a judge's ruling based on his personal knowledge in matters of Allah's prescribed punishments (hudud) from his ruling concerning a person's Islam or apostasy. Some scholars have even permitted bearing witness against an apostate to prevent corruption. The punishment for apostasy is based on the Muslim's breach of their commitment to the rulings of Islam, and to avert the corruption of openly declaring apostasy, which aims to sow doubt among people, cause disorder, and destabilize the state. The hadith "Forgive each other the prescribed punishments (hudud) among yourselves" is understood to apply to punishments related to the personal rights of individuals or those where concealment is recommended.
