Man tends to make false statements in cutting jokes,
thinking that on the occasions of entertaining people there is nothing wrong if
baseless information is given or false and imaginary events are related. But Islam,
which considers providing relief to hearts as permissible, which are within the
limits of truth, because Halal is much broader than Haram and that truth is independent of falsehood
Allah’s Messenger peace and blessings be upon him has said:
Death for the man who indulges in story-telling in order to
make some people laugh and for that he relies on falsehood. There is death for
him, there is destruction for him. Tirmidhee
In another Hadith, it is stated;
I give guarantee of a house in the middle of paradise for
the man who has given up falsehood, though he was required to indulge in
humour. Bayhaqi
He added:
A Muumin cannot have complete faith unless he gives up
falsehood in his jokes and debates though in all other matters he speaks the
truth. Ahmad
Hence, irrespective of what we say and do, we have to give up lying and shun all sittings in which lies are used to compose jokes.
