Is a person's statement, "I do not know prayer or worship," made in a state of extreme anger and without intention, considered apostasy from Islam?

The statement, "I do not know how to pray or worship," is objectionable and may constitute disbelief (kufr) and apostasy (riddah) if the intention behind it is denial, mockery, or hatred.

Whoever utters a word of disbelief in extreme anger, to the extent that they do not know what they are saying, does not become a disbeliever. The word itself may be an act of disbelief, but the speaker does not become a disbeliever due to the presence of an impediment, such as extreme anger that impairs awareness.

Anger has three levels: 1. Loss of reason and discernment: The person's words do not carry legal consequences. 2. Very intense anger that overwhelms the person and alters their thinking, but they do not completely lose consciousness: Scholars have differed on this, and the most accurate opinion is that it is treated like one who has lost their mind regarding the invalidity of their divorce and apostasy, due to its closeness to a state of madness. 3. Ordinary anger that does not remove reason or cause the person to lose self-control: All their actions are legally binding, by agreement of the scholars.

Apostasy does not require the intention of disbelief; rather, it requires the intention of uttering the word or performing the action. Thus, joking about disbelief is disbelief.
