Does one who tells or listens to a joke that includes actions related to prayer and makes people laugh become an apostate, knowing that the joke is not intended to mock prayer itself, but rather describes a humorous event connected to ablution?

There is nothing in what was mentioned that necessitates declaring the person who told the joke, or heard it, or approved of it, to be an apostate; as it does not involve mockery of prayer, but rather of those who suffer from obsessive doubts. We advise against preoccupation with issues of excommunication, as it is a form of obsessive doubt.
