There Is No Harm in Humor , As Long As What You Say Is True


Question :

As long as we are not mocking the religion, are we permitted in Islam to make jokes?


Answer:

As long as you are truthful in your humor, and as long as you do not go to excesses, humor, witticisms, and jokes. are permitted in Islam. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ showed humor, but he would only speak the truth. But if you lie when you make a joke, remember this Hadith:
"Woe to him who tells lies so that others may laugh...woe to him, and again, woe to him."

And with Allah is the facilitation to do what is right.
