Council of State’s Supreme administrative court issued it’s historical verdict, under the presidency of Counselor Majdī al-'Ajātī, the state council’s vice president, canceling the Ministry of Interior Affair's decision to refraim from proving the religion of those who converted to christianity with national ID card.
The court backed it’s verdict that the legislator committed the administration point to be responsible for civil status law to proof any amendments on some of the important data related to citizens, including stating the three monotheistic religions, for dealing with the citizen on the basis of the new statement.
The court cleared out that other than that, there will be a social complex and prohibition of legitimacy (al-Ahrām and al-Akhbār on February 13, 2011.)
The court stressed out that acknowledging a christian who converted to Islam then converted back to christianity in his national ID card doesn't mean that he didn't committed Riddah, according to Islamic Sharī'ah.
Council of State and Court of Cassation's verdicts settled that amending this information is required in a modern country that requires every citizen to have a document that proves his civil status. (al-Shurūq on February 14, 2011)
