The Ruling on Mocking the Angels and the Companions
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The questioner says: Is mocking the angels, or the Companions, or one of them, considered apostasy?
Answer:
There is nothing like that in the narrations. These people mocked the forelock. They were young men. Their mocking of the forelock led them to disbelief, and Allah, Glorified and Exalted is He, declared them disbelievers for that. It is not permissible to mock the religion or the people of the religion. If one mocks the Messengers, or the angels, or the scholars, what remains at that point?
The presenter:
May Allah reward you,
