The ruling on one who insults Allah, His Messenger, or His religion while he is praying
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Answer:
One who insults Allah, His Messenger, or His Book is to be killed and is not asked to repent, because he has become an apostate from the religion of Islam, and his heart has become corrupt, may Allah protect us from that. So if he pretends to repent, he will not be sincere in it, just as the hypocrites are, who when they walk with the believers[Al-Baqarah 2:14]. From this perspective, the scholars, or many of the scholars, said that one who insults Allah, His Messenger, or His Book is to be killed and is not asked to repent.
This person who insults the religion, or insults Allah, or His Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him), or insults the Book of Allah and the Sunnah of His Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him), or mocks any of that, is an apostate from the religion of Islam. And the fact that he prays, his prayer is not accepted from him, because prayer is not accepted with apostasy, and deeds do not benefit with disbelief. Allah the Exalted and Sublime said:[Al-Baqarah 2:217] They are the losers. [Az-Zumar 39:65] Allah the Exalted and Sublime said: [Al-Furqan 25:23] The Exalted said: [An-Nur 24:39].
Apostasy is not accepted with any deed, and no deed is valid with it, until he repents to Allah with a valid repentance, if he is among those whose repentance is accepted.

May Allah reward you with good.

So if he pretends to repent, he will not be sincere in it, just as the hypocrites are, who when they walk with the believers
they say, "We believe"; but when they are alone with their evil ones, they say, "Indeed, we are with you; we were only mockers."
قَالُوا آمَنَّا وَإِذَا خَلَوْا إِلَىٰ شَيَاطِينِهِمْ قَالُوا إِنَّا مَعَكُمْ إِنَّمَا نَحْنُ مُسْتَهْزِئُونَThis person who insults the religion, or insults Allah, or His Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him), or insults the Book of Allah and the Sunnah of His Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him), or mocks any of that, is an apostate from the religion of Islam. And the fact that he prays, his prayer is not accepted from him, because prayer is not accepted with apostasy, and deeds do not benefit with disbelief. Allah the Exalted and Sublime said:
And whoever of you reverts from his religion [to disbelief] and dies while he is a disbeliever - for those, their deeds have become worthless in this world and the Hereafter, and those are
وَمَن يَرْتَدِدْ مِنكُمْ عَن دِينِهِ فَيَمُتْ وَهُوَ كَافِرٌ فَأُولَٰئِكَ حَبِطَتْ أَعْمَالُهُمْ فِي الدُّنْيَا وَالْآخِرَةِ وَأُولَٰئِكَAnd it was already revealed to you and to those before you that if you should associate [anything] with Allah, your work would surely become worthless, and you would surely be among the losers."
وَلَقَدْ أُوحِيَ إِلَيْكَ وَإِلَى الَّذِينَ مِن قَبْلِكَ لَئِنْ أَشْرَكْتَ لَيَحْبَطَنَّ عَمَلُكَ وَلَتَكُونَنَّ مِنَ الْخَاسِرِينَAnd We will regard what they have done of deeds and make them as dust dispersed.
وَقَدِمْنَا إِلَىٰ مَا عَمِلُوا مِنْ عَمَلٍ فَجَعَلْنَاهُ هَبَاءً مَّنثُورًاBut those who disbelieved - their deeds are like a mirage in a lowland which a thirsty one thinks is water until, when he comes to it, he finds it is nothing
وَالَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا أَعْمَالُهُمْ كَسَرَابٍ بِقِيعَةٍ يَحْسَبُهُ الظَّمْآنُ مَاءً حَتَّىٰ إِذَا جَاءَهُ لَمْ يَجِدْهُ شَيْئًاApostasy is not accepted with any deed, and no deed is valid with it, until he repents to Allah with a valid repentance, if he is among those whose repentance is accepted.
