Question:
The first question in this episode is a set of questions from one of the students studying at the Institute of the Noble Qur'an and its Sciences in Riyadh. It is from the brother Ahmad Abu Ali, from the village of Bani Hasan, which belongs to the center of Ulayad Suqr in the Sharqia Governorate in Egypt. He asks a number of questions about the errors that the people of his village are living with and the guidance they need. In his first question, he says: What is the ruling on one who mocks the Sunnah of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him)?
Answer:
In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful. Praise be to Allah, Lord of the worlds, and may Allah send prayers and blessings upon our Prophet Muhammad, and upon his family and his Companions. As for what follows: The one who mocks the Sunnah of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) becomes an apostate from the religion of Islam. The evidence for this is the saying of Allah the Exalted:[At-Tawbah 9:65-66] So they were judged to be disbelievers after their faith because of their mocking of the verses of Allah, Glorified and Exalted is He, and of the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) through his Sunnah. It is obligatory for anyone who does any of that to repent to Allah, Mighty and Majestic.
He enters Islam anew, improves his deeds, fears this great slip, and guards his tongue. Yes.

(65) And if you ask them, they will surely say, "We were only conversing and playing." Say, "Is it Allah and His verses and His Messenger that you were mocking?" (66) Make no excuse; you have disbelieved after your belief. If We pardon one faction of you - We will punish another faction because they were criminals.
