What is the ruling on uncontrollable, excessive laughter, and what is its remedy?
The discussion about the danger of excessive laughter and its negative effects, where the Prophet, peace be upon him, warned against excessive laughter because it kills the heart and takes away the light of the face. The blameworthy laughter is the excessive one, especially that accompanied by sound (guffawing), because of its bad effects like the death of the heart, loss of dignity, and wasting time. Excessive laughter can be avoided by contemplating its negative effects and staying away from its causes, such as associating with idle people, keeping in mind that what is beyond one's control bears no sin.
