Questions on the Explanation of the Book of Nullifiers of Islam

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Does the verse include the one who mocks the righteous, imitates them in mockery, or speaks ill of the people of hisbah (religious police) and the committee?

Answer:
If he mocks them because of their religion and because of their enjoining good and forbidding evil, this is apostasy from Islam. But if he mocks them because of their persons or their individual identities, and that is far-fetched, it is far-fetched that he mocks them because of their persons, as we mentioned, but rather he mocks them for what they do. This is a great danger for the person. He should fear Allah the Exalted, and he should respect the people of goodness and the righteous and the people of hisbah, and have a good opinion of them. And if he sees a flaw or deficiency in any of them, he should advise him through private advice, for advice is the religion. But that he mocks him and ridicules him, this is not permissible. Yes, this is what is wrong.
