If the قسم (department/section) ridicules Muslims, it is not permissible to agree to it, due to the Almighty's saying: "O you who have believed, let not a people ridicule [another] people; perhaps they may be better than them." However, if it is humor devoid of lies and ridicule, then its permissibility is apparent, especially if it draws attention to an error or a negative phenomenon. It is better to harness pens to serve the religion, uphold the Sunnah, and encourage noble character.
