Does making fun of another language result in making fun of the signs of Allah

· 28 Safar 1440 AH1 min readEnglish

Question

"And among the signs of His power is the creation of the heavens and the earth and diverse language and skin color. Surely, with that situation actually there are signs for people who know" (Ar-Rum:22)

According to an intrepretation. If I make fun of someone speaking in other language which seems funny, is it as if I made fun of a language (Allah's sign) and thereby kufr?

Answer

It is not kufr. However, you should abstain from this.

And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
