Question: Oh Virtuous Shaikh, some callers have emerged today using laughter and jokes as a means of da’wah with the argument that it attracts the hearts of the youth. So what is the ruling on this?
Answer: “This is not good. This is an action that is not good. A person should be someone of seriousness and not someone of humor/jokes”
[Sharh Ibn Majah no. 306]
