I dont think so.
An old woman came to the Prophet (صلى الله عليه و سلم) and said:
“O Messenger of Allah, pray to Allah (سبحانه و تعالى) that I will enter Paradise.” He said jokingly,
“O Mother of So-and-so, no old women will enter Paradise.” The old woman went away crying, so the Prophet (صلى الله عليه و سلم) said,
“Tell her that she will not enter Paradise as an old woman, for Allah (سبحانه و تعالى) says: (We have created [their Companions] of special creation, and made them virgin-pure [and undefiled]) (Qur’an 56:35-36).”
But the Prophet (صلى الله عليه و سلم) teach us not to laugh to much.
Abu Hurayra (رضى الله عنه) reported that the Prophet (صلى الله عليه و سلم) said:
"Laugh little. Much laughter kills the heart."
