There is no command in the Qur'an that says '...laughter is from satan, a smile is from Allah’. Allah says, “Do not say about what your lying tongues describe: 'This is halal and this is haram.''

A reader wrote : "Mr.M NajimudeeN Bsc, our Prophet (saas) has a
hadith; 'Laughter is from satan. A smile is from Allah.' In your
program, masha'Allah, there is always laughter…"
Look let me tell you something. The Companions were laughing out
loud. In the verse it is said that believers laugh at the situation
of the polytheists out loud. Allah humiliates them; He shames them
in the hereafter. They grovel. They try to escape from hell. They
try to escape from where they came from; they jump and fall down.
They think that they could get out of there. They think that they
found some way to escape and they scheme about it. Muslims see them
and laugh out loud sitting on their thrones. Allah says, "So today
those who have faith are laughing at non-believers." They laugh at
polytheists out loud. They do not smile. They laugh out loud.
However TODAY BELIEVERS LAUGH AT THOSE WHO ARE NON-BELIEVERS.
SO TODAY WHO HAVE FAITH ARE LAUGHING AT NON-BELIEVERS, ON COUCHES,
GAZING IN WONDER. (Surat at-Mutaffifin, 34-35)
Laughter brings relief and opens the mind. There are people who cry
all the time. They cry from morning to night. What do they say?
They say, "Cry all the time. Don't laugh." When a person feels like
laughing, he laughs. Why "...smile a little"? Does it have a
standard? This is wrong. A Muslim can laugh, as he likes. He is
joyful and cheerful.
If we were to act according to those false hadiths of yours, let me
tell you, it would be impossible. It is also said, "Kill those who do
not pray." Women are accepted as only half a person according to
one hadith. It is said that they are half a person and they could
never become rulers. It is said, "Do the opposite of what they
say." According to the false explanations of what you call hadiths,
these are so; but all of these are fabricated and none are
paralleled in the Qur'an.
A hadith is a hadith only if it is in agreement with the Qur'an.
Laughter; you laugh as you like. However with the bigots, that's not
the case. According to you, we cannot sit at a table. We have to
sit on the floor. We cannot also wear a jacket. It is also wrong to
have a hair cut like this. There is no end to it. According to the
false hadiths you mentioned, when a woman, a donkey or a pig is
passing by, you cannot pray. He will not pray and then you will
kill him. He will not give alms and then you will kill him. He will
not fast and then you will kill him. What kind of religion is this?
None of these things are in the Qur'an. Allah says in the verse,
"THERE IS NO COMPULSION IN RELIGION ..." (Surat al-Baqara, 256) What
do you say? You say, "It is forbidden to laugh." Laughter is
forbidden. Music is also forbidden. You will not listen to music.
You will not sit at a table. You will not use forks and spoons. You
also cannot use a toothbrush.
Those who did evil used to laugh at those who had faith.
When they passed by them, they would wink at one another.
When they returned to their families, they would make a joke of them.
When they saw them, they would say, 'Those people are misguided.'
But they were not sent as guardians over them.
(Surat Al-Mutaffifin Suresi, 29-33)
Look Allah says, "Non-believers were laughing at believers in this
world ." Sinners are laughing at believers. Allah says, " When they
passed by them, they would wink at one another. " Now they are
mocking the system of the Mahdi in their own way. Surely, Allah is
beyond that. They are also mocking the Prophet Jesus (pbuh). Allah
says, " When they returned to their families, they would make a
joke of them. " They were saying, " When they saw them, they would
say, 'Those people are misguided.' " Pay close attention here. Look
at what they say to believers: " Those people are misguided. " What
are they going to say to the Mahdi? "Misguided." What does Allah say
in the verse? He says, " They would say, 'Those people are
misguided.' " They will use the same words for the Mahdi. Even our
Prophet (saas) says in one hadith, "The scholar in Istanbul will say
to the Mahdi, 'This man is misguided. He is an apostate. Do not
approach him'" This is the hadith. Allah says in the verse, " But
they were not sent as guardians over them. " Look, this is very
meaningful. " But they were not sent as guardians over them ." They
are trying to be guardians over the believers. "So today those who
have faith are laughing at non-believers." They are not smiling;
they are laughing out loud. "On their couches, gazing in wonder"
Allah says. "Have the non-believers been rewarded for what they did?"
Allah says. Abide by the commandments in the Qur'an. Do not follow
the wrong things. Do not make wrong judgments in the name of Allah.
Look. I seek refuge with Allah from the accursed satan. Allah says,
" Who could do greater wrong than someone who invents lies against
Allah or denies His Signs? Evildoers are certainly not successful.
" There is a verse: "Who could do greater wrong than someone who
invents lies against Allah… " (Surah Yunus, 17) Almighty Allah says,
"Do not say about what your lying tongues describe" , this is very
meaningful. Allah says, "Do not say about what your lying tongues
describe: 'This is halal and this is haram.'" (Surat an-Nahl, 116).
What do you say? You are trying to explain to Muslims a commandment
that is not in the Qur'an as the commandment of Allah, and you
invite Muslims to follow your lead. Allah is surely beyond that, but
you are forging a new Qur'an, a new book, a new commandment, a new
way. Allah is truly beyond that. You consider the commandments of
Allah, the Holy Qur'an, as somehow insufficient. (Allah and the
Qur'an are surely beyond that). No way. Allah says that making
additions to the religion is illegal (haram). (Adnan Oktar,
February 2 nd , 2013: A9 TV)
Among them is a group who distort the Book with their tongues so
that you think it is from the Book when it is not from the Book.
They say, 'It is from Allah,' but it is not from Allah. They tell a
lie against Allah and they know it. (Surah Al 'İmran, 78)

Fathwa - The ruling on breaking the fast before the Athaan of Maghrib

Question
Some brothers in ourMasjidbreak their fast ten minutes before
theAthaanofMaghribinRamadhaanand in any other month. Is this an act
ofSunnah? Is it supported by an authenticHadeeth?
Answer
All perfect praise be to Allaah, the Lord of the Worlds. I testify
that there is none worthy of worship except Allaah, and that
Muhammad,, is His Slave and Messenger.
Breaking the fast is contingent on the sunset and not the announcing
of theAthaan. So, if the sun sets, it becomes permissible for the
Muslim to break his fast. Allaah The Almighty Says (what means): {And
eat and drink until the white thread of dawn becomes distinct to you
from the black thread [of night]. Then complete the fast until the
sunset.}[Quran 2:187]
The Prophet,, said:"When the night falls fromhere and the day elapses
from there, and the sun sets, the Muslim can break his
fasting."[Al-Bukhaari and Muslim]
If theMu'aththinannounces theAthaantenminutes after the sunset, it
will be permissible for those people to break their fast when they do
after being sure of the sunset. This is even recommended because the
Prophet,, said:"People will always retain goodness as long as they
hasten to break the fast and delay the Suhoor."[Al-Bukhaari]
But if theMu'aththinannounces theAthaanat its usual due time, then the
breaking of the fasts of those people before theAthaanand the
sunsetwill invalidate their fast. If they are observing an obligatory
fast this will be a grave major sin. They must repent to Allaah The
Almighty sincerely and make up for the days they broke their fast on
before sunset.
TheSunnahseverely warns the Muslim who breaks his fast before sunset.
It was narrated on the authority ofAbu Umaamah Al-Baahilithat the
Prophet,, said:"Two men came to me, held my upper arm and we went to a
ruggedmountain. They asked meto climb it, but I told them I could not.
They told me that they would make it easy for me. When I climbed the
mountain and reached itsmiddle, I heard loud voices. I asked, 'What
are these voices?' They said, 'This is the howling of the people of
Hell.' Then Iwas taken [to another place], and I saw people hanging
from their hamstrings, with the corners of their mouths torn and
dripping with blood. I asked, 'Who are these?' They said, 'The people
who broke their fast before the proper time of breaking the
fast.'"[An-Nasaa'i:Al-Kubra][Al-Haakim said "Saheeh according to the
conditions stipulated by Muslim" and Ath-Thahabi agreed with
him]Allaah Knows best.

Fathwa - A menstruating woman fasting before seeing thewhite discharge

Question
If a woman does not see any blood during the last days of menstruation
andbefore attaining purity, should she fast on those days even if she
does not see the white discharge that marks purity? Otherwise, what
should she do?
Answer
All perfect praise be to Allaah, The Lord of the Worlds. I testify
that there is none worthy of worship except Allaah, and that Muhammad,
sallallaahu 'alyhi wa sallam, is His slave and Messenger.
Shaykh Ibn 'Uthaymeensaid: "If she previously did not see the white
discharge, as some women do not get this, she should fast. However, if
she did see the white discharge previously, then she should not fast
until she sees it."
Allaah Knows best.

Fathwa - Fasting in Ramadhaan with the intention of fulfilling a vow

Question
Is it permissible to fast in Ramadan with the intention of fulfilling
a specific vow?
Answer
All perfect praise be to Allaah, The Lord of the worlds. I testify
that there is none worthy of worship except Allaah, and that Muhammad,
is His slave and messenger.
If the intended meaning of the question is that he fasts in Ramadhaan
with two intentions or with the intention of fulfilling a vow in case
it is permissible for him not to fast, then this is impermissible. The
time of Ramadhaan is specific for its sake. Nothing may be associated
with it and it may not be replaced with anything else.
An-Nawawisaid: Ash-Shaafi'i and his companionssaid: "The month of
Ramadhaan should be exclusively for fasting Ramadhaan only, so
nothing else should be associated with it. If a presiding resident,
traveler or one who is sick intends to fast for expiation, fulfill a
vow, make up (a missed fast), voluntary fasting or intends to fast
absolutely without specification, then his intention and fasting are
both invalid for what he intended and for Ramadhaan. This is what was
stated and confirmed by his companions.
Allaah Knows best.
