QUESTION: Dear sheikh, somebody asks You publicly a silly question and You embarrass them openly on Twitter. Then Muslims screenshot that post, share it with other brothers and laugh at it together. Are these people sinful who laugh at that person as he’s most likely a Muslim (even though he asked a very silly question)? Isn’t mocking Muslims haram? Could You please explain that?

ANSWER:
There’s no sin in this as such a person is anonymous and is not known.
