What is the ruling on the widespread phrase "your mother's religion" or "your father's religion" among people, and is it considered disbelief even if the word "cursing" or "insulting" is not mentioned with it? And what should I do when I hear it, and is denouncing it in the heart sufficient?

The ruling on the phrase "religion is corrupted" was previously clarified in no. 89907, if it is intended to insult religion or disparage a person. One should offer advice, attempt to reform, and object to the one who utters it. If they do not respond, then do not sit with them when they delve into such matters. There is also a warning against declaring a specific individual an apostate due to this phrase or others.
