Rebelling against rulers is called بغي (unlawful rebellion). It is a condition that the ruler be Muslim in order to execute the حد (prescribed punishment) on an apostate among government employees. It is not permissible for the ruler to initially appoint a non-believer to a position of authority. It is obligatory for individuals to inform the Muslim ruler about an apostate among government employees.
