Traditions of Prophet Muhammad [s.a.] from Najj ul-Fasahah:
- Allah does not punish a man who jokes if he is telling the truth in his joke.
- There are three things that being serious about them is serious and saying jokes about them is also serious:
- Marriage
- Divorce
- Return after divorce
- It is not allowed to joke about divorce, marriage and releasing slaves.
- Don’t say Jokes that it decreases your value. Don’t lie that it will turn off your light.
- Do not deceive your brother. Do not say jokes about him and do not break your commitment with him.
- Silence is the best manner and whoever jokes, others will think he is a low status person.
