Lewdness, transgression, and joking in fasting
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
Does lewdness and transgression fall under joking?
The Shaykh:
People may differ on this issue. There is what is permissible, and there is lewdness, such as joking with one’s wife, and there is rude and obscene speech, and there is transgression, which applies to all people.
The questioner:
By Allah, it happened to him.
The Shaykh:
It differs if it is light speech, light joking, and truthful; there is no harm in that. But if the joking is excessive, it is disliked.
