The questioner : ... ؟
The Shaykh : No, absolutely not. If he mocks the cosmic signs, then he is mocking Allah (Mighty and Majestic). That is, these events are created, and there is no event that does not have a Creator. So if he mocks these events, such as the creatures that... or those that currently exist, this is mocking Allah.
The questioner : ...
The Shaykh : No, no, I do not think so, I do not think so. For this reason, may Allah will it, we will come to the case of one who mocks a person not for his attribution to the Shari'ah. One might mock a person not for his attribution to the Shari'ah, and he would not thereby be a disbeliever. We will come to the details of this later, may Allah will it. Now, the important thing is, do we understand the meaning of the verse now?[At-Tawbah 9:65]. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) complied to the utmost extent of compliance, to the point that when the man who came to apologize to him, what did he say to him? [At-Tawbah 9:65-66] And he did not add to this, he did not add to this at all, even though he could have added more rebuke and reprimand to this, but he was commanded to say it, so he said it, and the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) restricted himself to what he was told to say. Then he said regarding Ibn 'Umar
The questioner : ...
The Shaykh : If the Messenger is present and he forgives him, then there is no obstacle.
The questioner : ...
The Shaykh : It is known that the Messenger forgives, there is no doubt that he forgives, because he forgave them, and the Messenger explicitly stated that he forgives without doubt.
The questioner : ...
The Shaykh : No, it does not remain. Our discussion is about cursing the Messenger after his death, whereas during his lifetime, the matter is up to him.

Say, "Is it Allah and His verses and His Messenger that you were mocking?"
قل أبالله وآياته ورسوله كنتم تستهزؤونIs it Allah and His verses and His Messenger that you were mocking?" (66) Make no excuse; you have disbelieved after your belief.
