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 shirk. 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).
