Is mentioning God Almighty while there is food in the mouth considered a mockery of the religion?

1 min readAlso available in العربية

Mockery is defined as belittling and disparaging something, or scoffing and ridiculing it in a way that implies diminishment, contempt, and disdain, none of which occurred from you. We have previously explained that speaking during meals is permissible, and refraining from it is an innovation.
