The ruling on declaring a disbeliever one who insults the religion or mocks it

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
When does one who insults the religion or mocks it become exempt from being declared a disbeliever?

Answer:
He becomes a disbeliever and is given the opportunity to repent; if he repents, well and good, otherwise he is killed. A group of scholars say: he is not given the opportunity to repent. This is a matter of scholarly disagreement among the scholars.
Q: Is he excused due to ignorance?
A: No, he is not excused. This is something no one is ignorant of. Insulting the religion is a wrong that both the young and the old know about.
