It is religion that leads to his apostasy. Some jurists, however, take a moderate view, believing that one must keep in mind the word used by Saab. The Iranian legislator in criminal law code has adopted the first view in the Islamic Penal Code, with this explain that saab al-nabi is independent and not relate to apostasy .
