Question:
He asks: Does the one who writes fictional stories, and the one who makes people laugh with fictional stories, fall under the saying of the Exalted: “one who transgresses and commits a sin”?
Answer:
There is no transgression if there is no injustice to anyone in them and no sin committed against people, and if they are merely for entertainment, they do not fall under the prohibition or become disliked. They become disliked because they have no benefit. Yes. But if there is falsehood in them and forbidden evil, yes.
