Abstract
The article is devoted to an important source for the study of the theological and legal aspects of Islamic law – the fatwas of Hajj Muhammad al-Shamgudi on the issue of apostasy. They demonstrate a combination of a scholar’s deep knowledge of Fiqh, respect for traditions, and careful attention to context. Al-Shamgudi relied on the opinions of his predecessors, such as al-Nawawi and Ibn Hajar al-Haythami, when making decisions.
