Is it a matter of disbelief to mock the religious beliefs of others?

Answered as per Hanafi Fiqh by Seekersguidance.org

Question Summary

Is it a matter of disbelief to mock the religious beliefs of others?

Answer

In the Name of Allah, the Most Merciful and Compassionate

Mocking the religious beliefs of others is not a matter of disbelief, although it is against the Quranic teachings.

Allah Most High says, “O believers! Do not insult what they invoke besides Allah, or they will insult Allah spitefully out of ignorance. This is how We have made each people’s deeds appealing to them. Then to their Lord is their return, and He will inform them of what they used to do.” [Qur’an; 6:108]

Rather, when hearing of the previous peoples and their worship of creation, the Muslim should feel a sense of gratitude for the blessing of Islam and concern other’s discovery of the truth.
