What is the ruling on one who mocks something of the Qur'an or the Sunnah or the scholars, and what does one do in order to repent?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
May Allah reward you, Honorable Shaykh. This questioner says: May Allah reward you. You mentioned in yesterday's lesson that one who mocks something of the Qur'an or the Sunnah or the scholars, and he is not intending it.
The Shaykh:
As for mocking something of the Qur'an or the Sunnah, this is clear disbelief. As for mocking the scholars, there is a distinction here, as we mentioned. If he mocks them because of their knowledge, this is disbelief. If he mocks them only because of their persons, this is a major sin among the major sins, because it is not permissible to mock a Muslim, let alone a scholar. Yes.
The questioner:
And he asks what he should do in order to repent?
The Shaykh:
He repents to Allah. The door of repentance is open. He repents to Allah with a valid repentance, and he leaves this thing, and Allah will accept his repentance. Yes.
