What is the ruling on eating from the slaughter of an apostate father, if the son is unable to provide food and drink for himself?
Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
What an apostate slaughters is not permissible to eat, except for the one in dire necessity. It is permissible for a poor son to eat from his disbelieving father's wealth; rather, scholars have obligated the father to spend on him. We should note that a ruling of apostasy is only made after several conditions are met.
