It is not permissible to enter websites containing doubts, even with the intention of mockery, because that may be among the steps of Satan by which he entraps a person. The has commanded avoiding doubts, as the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, said: "Whoever hears about the Dajjal, let him keep far away from him. For by Allah, a man will come to him thinking he is a believer, and then follow him due to the doubts he sends forth." So, beware of falling into Satan's snares.
