Question:
Is belittling the angels disbelief that takes one out of the religion?
Answer:
Yes, whoever belittles any of the angels or any of the messengers is considered to have committed apostasy from the religion of Islam. Faith in Allah, His angels, His books, His messengers, the Last Day, and belief in divine decree, its good and its evil, these are the pillars of faith. Among them is belief in the angels (peace be upon them). The one who belittles them becomes an apostate. Allah the Exalted said:[Al-Baqarah 2:97] up to His saying: “Whoever is an enemy of” [Al-Baqarah 2:98].
He said this to the disbelievers. It indicates that the one who hates the angels, or some of them, is a disbeliever. The Jews hate Jibril (peace be upon him).
They hate Jibril and say that Jibril is our enemy. Allah responded to them with this and ruled that they are disbelievers because of their hatred of Jibril (peace be upon him). Some of them say that Jibril betrayed the trust of the high message. But Jibril did not betray it; he gave it to Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him). They say he betrayed the trust. This is disbelief in Allah (Mighty and Majestic).

Whoever is an enemy to Gabriel - it is [none but] he who has brought the Qur'an down upon your heart, [O Muhammad], by permission of Allah, confirming that which was before it
مَن كَانَ عَدُوًّا لِّجِبْرِيلَ فَإِنَّهُ نَزَّلَهُ عَلَىٰ قَلْبِكَ بِإِذْنِ اللَّهِ مُصَدِّقًا لِّمَا بَيْنَ يَدَيْهِand His angels and His messengers and Gabriel and Michael - then indeed, Allah is an enemy to the disbelievers.
وَمَلَائِكَتِهِ وَرُسُلِهِ وَجِبْرِيلَ وَمِيكَالَ فَإِنَّ اللَّهَ عَدُوٌّ لِّلْكَافِرِينَHe said this to the disbelievers. It indicates that the one who hates the angels, or some of them, is a disbeliever. The Jews hate Jibril (peace be upon him).
