A 2: Mocking the Sunnah of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) is disbelief and apostasy from Islam, even if one is joking or intends to annoy a person. Allah the Exalted said:[At-Tawbah 9:65-66] . And success is from Allah, and may Allah send prayers and blessings upon our Prophet Muhammad, his family, and his Companions.

A 2: Mocking the Sunnah of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) is disbelief and apostasy from Islam, even if one is joking or intends to annoy a person. Allah the Exalted said:
(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.
وَلَئِنْ سَأَلْتَهُمْ لَيَقُولُنَّ إِنَّمَا كُنَّا نَخُوضُ وَنَلْعَبُ قُلْ أَبِاللَّهِ وَآيَاتِهِ وَرَسُولِهِ كُنْتُمْ تَسْتَهْزِئُونَ (65) لاَ تَعْتَذِرُوا قَدْ كَفَرْتُمْ بَعْدَ إِيمَانِكُمْ
