Question:
What is the ruling on taking an omen from excessive laughter, and some people say that it brings bad luck and pessimism?
Answer:
No, one does not take an omen from laughter; rather, excessive laughter is prohibited because it hardens the heart. Excessive laughter hardens the heart. Yes. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), when he laughed a lot, would only smile, smiling until you could see his molars (peace and blessings be upon him). Sulayman (peace be upon him) smiled in response to the ant's statement; he smiled, it was not a loud laugh, no. Yes.
