Question:
This questioner says to Shaykh Salih: I frequently make comments, jokes, and mock my colleagues and those I am responsible for. I have tried to stop doing this because I know it may hurt some people. What is the ruling on this action, and am I sinful for it?
Answer:
Leave this action and do not engage in excessive joking. This is prohibited. If the joking is light, there is no harm. But if it becomes excessive and is a characteristic of yours, leave it. Yes.
The presenter:
May Allah reward you and bless you.
