Source: FtawySummarized from the full answer at Ftawy · imported Sep 2, 2026
One must prohibit the one who swears by other than Allah and clarify that his action is forbidden and constitutes minor . He should be commanded to say: "Lā ilāha illā Allāh (There is no god but Allah)" as an expiation for his action. As for laughing at a person's appearance or manner, it is not considered disbelief (kufr).
