Is it permissible to create an entertainment and comedy website that includes comedic plays?
Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
Entertainment is a human need that is permissible in Islamic law, subject to its regulations. Excessive laughter and exaggeration deaden the heart, and if entertainment includes lying to make people laugh, it is forbidden in Islamic law. Therefore, if the site is free from forbidden things such as impermissible music, singing, and acting, then it is permissible to create it.
