Is my sister’s and my laughing at a scene in a movie—in which a girl describes everything around her as haraam and breaks it believing them to be idols—considered mockery of religion? Do we become disbelievers by that, especially given that this happened before I knew the ruling on mockery? And does my elder sister, whom I asked to watch the movie and I do not know whether she laughed or not, become a disbeliever?

Your laughter at these scenes is not mocking the religion, and it appears you both laughed at the girl's extremism and exaggeration. We advise you to turn away from these whispers (waswas) and ignore them, and not pay attention to them. For if you do not turn away from them, you will reach a great evil. You are upon goodness as long as you strive against these whispers and seek to rid yourself of them.
