Imaam al-Nawawi (may Allah have mercy on him) said: “The kind of joking which is forbidden is that which is excessive and persistent, for it leads to too much laughter and hardening of the heart, it distracts from remembrance of Allah, and it often leads to hurt feelings, generates hatred and causes people to lose respect and dignity. But whoever is safe from such dangers, then that which the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) used to do is permissible for him.”
Sa’d ibn Abi Waqqaas said: “Set a limit to your jokes, for going to extremes makes you lose respect and incites the foolish against you.” |
Now this "joke" made, didn't contradict any of these. I doubt anyone laughed or even grinned for more than 2 seconds.
As someone said, this coincident was interesting and the "joke" in this was sarcastical. Of course, it wasn't necessary to put it there, but now it was put.
I re-call seeing much worse (i e jokes causing one to laugh a lot), and under those circumstances nobody opposed. Maybe people just love to laugh when it suits them.
This has got already too much attention, subhanAllah.
Selam aleykum we rahmetallahu
