The answer

It is not permissible to utter words of dhikr (remembrance of Allah) with the intention of mockery or denigration. However, if this occurs due to a speech impediment or an accent, it is not considered mockery, as the letters ḥāʾ (ح) and hāʾ (ه) can be interchanged in pronunciation and writing due to the closeness of their points of articulation and their characteristics. This has been noted in the Arabic language and poetry.
