The question

Does using phrases such as "I seek refuge in Allah, their dwellings are their homes" and "O Allah, I seek refuge in You from all evil and evil-doers" when commenting on a woman's makeup, describing it as scary, constitute mockery of religion?

The answer

It does not appear that this is mockery of religion, because the writer did not intend to mock the prophetic text. Rather, she intended to mock the image and that it reminds one of the ugliness of devils. Nevertheless, sacred texts should not be placed in such a context.
