The answer

The apostate's money is entrusted to a trustworthy Muslim. If he repents, his money is returned to him. If he dies upon disbelief, his money becomes fay' (spoils of war) and is distributed for the benefit of the Muslims. If it is possible to delay paying the dower to the apostate woman without harm, it should be withheld. If she embraces Islam, it is paid to her. If she dies upon disbelief, it is expended for the benefit of the Muslims.
