By using thematic hadis approach, this essay attempt to proof that it is apostasy which combined with rivalry against the state and enmity against Islam (bughât) that can be penalized with death sentence. And this can be executed after the state have decided to do so. Kata Kunci: murtad, kebebasan beragama, doktrin, qânû
