The questioner:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, this questioner says: What is the ruling on joking with words that contain disbelief or open sinfulness?
The Shaykh:
It is not permissible to joke with words of disbelief and open sinfulness. Joking that does not cause harm, but rather brings relief to the soul and also provides enjoyment for those present, is acceptable, but what results in religious harm is not.
The presenter:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, reading in a book.
The Shaykh:
And the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) used to joke, but he did not say anything but the truth. Yes.
