The Ruling on Distorting Qur'anic Verses in Sarcastic Statements

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Mu'awiyah al-Shaykh says there is a saying, and he asks about its ruling. This saying concerns the Book of Allah the Exalted. He says: When I said, "May Allah have mercy on Mubarak,"
does not the kingdom of Egypt belong to me, and these rivers flowing beneath meأَلَيْسَ لِي مُلْكُ مِصْرَ وَهَٰذِهِ الْأَنْهَارُ تَجْرِي مِن تَحْتِي
[Az-Zukhruf 43:51]
then Morsi came and destroyed him. What is the ruling on this saying?

Answer:
This is a distortion of the Book of Allah the Exalted. We ask Allah for safety. It is playing with the words of Allah the Exalted. Moses (peace be upon him), the one who spoke with Allah, became Morsi? There is no power or might except with Allah. You have distorted the verse to the point of playing with it to this extent? Yes.
