Questioner: Mocking the religion which has been
mentioned in His Saying, the Blessed and Most High, “Say, ‘Was it at Allaah, and His Aayat that you were
mocking? Make no excuse, you have disbelieved after you had believed
…’” [Tawbah 9:66] is it kufr
in belief [kufr
i'tiqaadi] or disbelief in actions [kufr amali]?
Al-Albaani: There is no doubt that this is kufr
in belief–infact, this is disbelief with two horns. Because it is not possible for a believer no matter how weak his
faith is to mock the Signs [aayaat]
of Allaah the Mighty and Majestic. And this type of disbelief is
what comes under our previous statement where we would say, “It is not permissible to declare a Muslim to be outside the
fold of Islaam except if something emanates from his tongue which shows us what
has settled in his heart.” So here, his mockery of the Signs of
Allaah, the Mighty and Majestic, is the biggest confirmation from him that he
does not believe in that which he is mocking. So thus he is a disbeliever who has
performed kufr
in belief [i'tiqaadi].
