Does mocking the religion include mocking obedience to the rulers, or hating their obedience?

Question:
May Allah reward you, Honorable Shaykh. This is another questioner who says: Does mocking the religion include mocking obedience to the rulers, or hating obedience to the rulers?

Answer:
Whoever hates the command of Allah and His Messenger disbelieves by that. Whoever hates , the one who hates the rulers for their personal selves, this does not fall under disbelief. The one who hates them for their personal selves or for their actions, this does not fall under disbelief, but it is prohibited because it leads to fitnah (trial, discord or temptation). As for the one who mocks obedience to the rulers because Allah commanded obedience to them, and the Messenger commanded obedience to them; this is riddah (apostasy) from the religion of Islam. Yes.
