Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, you mentioned (may Allah preserve you) in your lesson on the Book of Tawhid that one who mocks something of the religion becomes a disbeliever, even if he did not intend disbelief.

Answer:
Yes, because they say:
We were only conversing and playing.إِنَّمَا كُنَّا نَخُوضُ وَنَلْعَبُ
[At-Tawbah 9:65]
They deny having intended it, and yet Allah the Exalted declared them disbelievers. Yes.
