The ruling
on the one who mocks the religion

silsilat ul-hudā wa nnūr ~ the series of guidance and light
~ tape no. 672c
Question #3: “With regard to mocking the religion, which was
mentioned in Allaah’s statement: {Say: ‘Was it at Allaah,
and His Aayaat (proofs, evidence, verses, lessons, signs,
revelations) and His Messenger (صلى الله عليه وسلم) that you
were mocking?’ / Make no excuse; you disbelieved after you
had believed},[1] is the disbelief here al-kufr ul-‘amalee (the
disbelief related to actions) or al-kufr ul-i’tiqaadee (the
disbelief related to faith)?”[2]
Shaykh al-Albaani (rahimahullaah) answers:
“No doubt, this is disbelief related to faith. Rather this
is a disbelief that has two horns (i.e., it is clear
disbelief), because mocking the aayaat of Allaah, the Mighty
and Majestic, is not possible to come forth from a believer
no matter how weak his eemaan (faith) is. And this type of
disbelief is what falls under our previous statement when we
said that it is not allowed to declare a Muslim to be a
disbeliever except if something appears from his speech that
would show us what is settled in his heart. So here, mocking
the aayaat of Allaah, the Mighty and Majestic, is the
greatest affirmation from him that he does not believe in
that which he is mocking. So he therefore has disbelieved
with the disbelief related to faith.”
[1] Surat ut-Tawbah; 9:65-66
[2] whoever does an act that is disbelief due to his
opposing the Islamic legislation, while disbelief in it is
also settled in his heart, then this is kufr i’tiqaadee, and
it is the disbelief that Allaah does not forgive, and its
doer will dwell in the Fire forever; as for if this act of
disbelief is in opposition to what is settled in his heart
such that he believes in the ruling of his Lord but he
opposes it by his action, then his disbelief is only kufr
‘amalee, and not kufr i’tiqaadee; so he is under the will of
Allaah, the Most High; if He wills, He will punish him and
if He wills, He will forgive him; refer to Shaykh al-Albaani’s
commentary in Silsilat ul-Ahaadeeth is-Saheeha #2552
