The questioner:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. He says: I was praying, and I smiled in the prayer, a strong smile from which a sound came out. Is there anything on me?

The Shaykh:
This is not a smile; this is laughter. This is laughter, and a sound and letters came out of it. This is not a smile. So if you are certain of this, you repeat the prayer. Yes.

The presenter:
Brother of the Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success.

The Shaykh:
They say that if one laughs loudly, meaning a loud laugh in laughter, it invalidates the prayer by consensus, meaning by consensus. Yes.
