The answer

One must avoid playing and toying with the rituals of religion, fearing falling into mockery of God’s verses, similar to those about whom Allah said: "And if you ask them, they will surely say, 'We were only indulging in idle talk and play.' Say, 'Is it Allah and His verses and His Messenger that you were mocking?' Make no excuses; you have disbelieved after your belief. If We pardon a party of you, We will punish another party because they were criminals." One must also glorify the rituals of Allah and speak sound words, for whoever believes in Allah and the Last Day should speak good or remain silent.
