The Muslims' Position on Mocking Allah, His Messenger, and the Constants of the Religion

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The questioner says: It is not hidden from the scholars what has appeared recently of mocking Allah (Mighty and Majestic) and His Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) and the constants of the religion, and the establishment of some limits for apostasy and others. We hope the scholars will direct a word on this topic. What is the obligation of the Muslims toward that?

Answer:
This is not strange; the atheists and disbelievers have done this since ancient times, and this is their habit and their action. But what restrains them is the ruler, the Muslim ruler who takes hold of their hands and executes the Sharia limits upon them. Otherwise, they have been like this since the beginning of creation. They say these statements, this atheism, and this deviation, and may Allah protect us from it. When they felt what they call freedom of opinion, freedom of opinion, freedom of speech, they understood that this is absolute and that no one is elevated above discussing, even Allah (Exalted and Majestic), or even the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him); they do not sanctify them from discussion and objections, and from... and from...
And these people need a deterrent; they need denial from the Muslims. If the Muslims were to unite in denying them and harass them with denial, they would not disappear. But we ask Allah (Mighty and Majestic) to take revenge upon them, to humble them, and to cause them to fail at the hands of the people of faith and the rulers of the Muslims. Yes.
