Hating Islam and standing on the are acts of apostasy from Islam. One must repent, return to Islam, and follow bad deeds with good ones. Scholars differed on making up missed fasts for an apostate:
- The Shafi'is and Hanbalis hold that making them up is obligatory, which is the more cautious approach and better for one's accountability.
- The Permanent Committee, Malikis, and Hanafis believe that making them up is not obligatory, citing the Prophet's (peace be upon him) saying: "Islam demolishes what came before it."
