What is the ruling on uttering the Name of Allah with the intention of committing a sin, without the intention of mockery?
Mentioning the name of Allah while committing a sin has details:
1. If it is with the intention of mockery and contempt, then it is disbelief (kufr).
2. If it is not with the intention of mockery and contempt, then it is not disbelief (kufr), but rather he has committed a sin. Mentioning the name of Allah may be forbidden in some sins, such as fornication and drinking alcohol, and it is disliked in matters that are inherently disliked. The rulings on mentioning the name of Allah vary between obligation, , permissibility, prohibition, and dislike, depending on the action.
3. If he mentioned Allah's name forgetfully or unaware of the forbidden act, then there is no blame upon him, as Allah Almighty says: ﴿Our Lord, do not impose blame upon us if we should forget or err.﴾
