Threatening to leave Islam

Answered as per Hanafi Fiqh by Muftionline.co.za

Q: Does uttering words as such fall, example if a person says drop me off at such and such a place or else i’ll leave islam? I’ve heard such a sentence uttered infront of me by another so I want to know if it counted or not?

Bismillaah

A: These are very dangerous words to utter. He should make taubah for these words.

And Allah Ta’ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
