Is mocking people kufr?
Question
Suppose that I was explaining a question of maths to another person. He was weak in maths so he could not understand properly what I explained. Then I mocked at him that you couldn't understand this simple problem and others also laughed at him. Then, because I mocked at someone who was trying to learn something. Learning to score good marks and please his parents. Pleasing his parents to please Allah. So indirectly I mocked at him while he was trying to please Allah. Is this kufr indirectly? Mocking on a person who tried to please Allah.
Answer
This is not kufr, but it is sinful to mock anybody. Ask Allah's forgiveness and that person's forgiveness as well.
And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
