The Ruling on Jokes and Humor in Islam

Question:
We have gathered before him. What you were asked about, and he named it in the language, if it is in this reality or otherwise possible to be clear, and I wanted to mention the saying of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him): "Woe to the one who tells a lie to make the people laugh, woe to him, woe to him," or as he said.

Answer:
Jokes that contain no falsehood, light jokes that have no errors and no violations of the Shari'ah, there is nothing wrong with them; they are light and also contain no violations of the Shari'ah. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) used to joke, but he did not say anything but the truth. As for the many jokes, or the jokes that contain lying and occupy the people and make them laugh, these are not permissible. The hadith, as you heard, says that the one whose concern and occupation is making people laugh, severe woe is upon him. The Muslim is not characterized by this trait; he is not always joking and always making people laugh. No, sometimes there is nothing wrong with it. A person should not be frowning and scowling. No, he should have a pleasant demeanor and light joking; there is nothing wrong with that.
