Advice for one who laughs excessively without reason
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you. This questioner from Syria asks: What is the ruling on one who laughs a lot and says that this is not of his own will, so he cannot control himself from laughing? What is the guidance in this matter? May Allah reward you.
Answer:
Laughter has limits; laughter has limits. A person should not laugh excessively or joke excessively. Rather, he should only laugh when the situation calls for it, and without exaggeration. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) was the most eloquent in his laughter, which was a smile. When something pleased him, the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) would smile.
The hadiths state that he (peace and blessings be upon him) smiled until his canine teeth were visible. This is the limit of Islamic etiquette: a person smiles. Allah mentioned that when Sulayman (peace be upon him) heard the ant's words, he smiled in laughter at what it said. Laughter has its limits; a person should not engage in it excessively or exaggerate in his laughter, because this removes modesty and diminishes a person's dignity. Everything has its limits. Yes.
