The third question of Fatwa No. ( 6753 )
Q 3: In this time, unfortunately, there are people who, when they gather in some of their gatherings, pass gas and laugh at it, taking pleasure in this act. When they are told: "Leave these blameworthy actions," they say: "It is better than belching (or the like)," despite the lack of evidence prohibiting it. So how should they be answered? May Allah reward you.
A 3 : It is not permissible to pass gas deliberately, nor to laugh at it; for this contradicts dignity and the noble qualities of character. It is not like belching, for belching usually comes out without intention and one does not laugh at it. However, if gas comes out from its natural place without deliberate action, there is no blame on him, and it is not permissible to laugh at it; for it is established from 'Abdullah ibn Zam'ah that he said: It was narrated by al-Bukhari , and from him also that he . And success is from Allah, and may Allah send prayers and blessings upon our Prophet Muhammad, his family, and his Companions.

The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) forbade a man from laughing at what comes out of the private parts
نهى النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم أن يضحك الرجل مما يخرج من الأنفسHe heard the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) delivering the sermon, and he mentioned the she-camel and the one who gored it, so the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "When the most wretched of them was sent forth, a man of great strength and firmness in his tribe, like Abu Zam'ah, was sent forth for it." And he mentioned women, saying: "One of you strikes his wife with the beating of a slave, and perhaps he will lie with her on the last day of his life." Then he admonished them regarding their laughter at passing gas
سمع النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم يخطب وذكر الناقة والذي عقرها، فقال رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم: إِذِ انْبَعَثَ أَشْقَاهَا انبعث لها رجل عارم منيع في رهطه، مثل أبي زمعة ، وذكر النساء فقال: يعمد أحدكم يجلد امرأته جلد العبد، فلعله يضاجعها من آخر يومه، ثم وعظهم في ضحكهم من الضرطة
