SaLaMz

 

[Halima]

I had posted this article not to encourage eveyone to laugh excessively. Instead, if they are feeling down or blue or depressed and they may wanna fnd a way to take it off their chest by giving a lighthearted laugh.

Yea I think the prophet(pbuh) meant that people who laugh about nothing, or too much, can mislead you.

I have a question about that article though:

The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) loved to instill joy and happiness in people’s hearts especially in happy occasions like feasts or marriage ceremonies. For instance, when Abu Bakr As-Siddiq (may Allah be pleased with him) tried to stop two young girls from singing in the Prophet’s house, the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) told him: 'Let it be, for we are now in the feast.' Another version reads: '… to let the Jews know that in our religion there is time for merriment.'

Isn't it not permissable for women to sing in the precense of men? I know there are different schools of thought on the issue. Wouldn't this have an influence on those rulings?
