The answer

Mocking Allah or His verses is an act of disbelief that expels one from the fold of Islam, even if done in jest and not seriously, based on the Almighty's saying: "And if you ask them, they will surely say, 'We were only indulging in idle talk and play.' Say, 'Is it in Allah and His verses and His Messenger that you were mocking?' Make no excuse; you have disbelieved after your belief." As for a word of disbelief uttered unintentionally, it is considered a slip of the tongue and is forgiven. However, the phrase "أعيط الفوق" (I scream loudly) is not mocking, and its intent is the elevation of the worshiper's voice. A woman does not invalidate the prayer by passing in front of a worshiper, according to the preponderant opinion.
