The answer

The aforementioned is authentically reported in the Two Sahihs and prohibits actions that were performed during the pre-Islamic era (Jahiliyyah) in times of grief, indicating impatience and dissatisfaction with Allah's decree. These actions include wailing (niyaaha), crying out in distress and perdition (wil and thuboor), and lamenting the deceased with phrases such as "O my mountain!" or "O the breaking of my back!" These actions encompass tearing garments, slapping cheeks, and invoking the claims of Jahiliyyah. As for slapping cheeks jokingly, it is not included in the prohibition, because the prohibition specifically applies to actions that indicate impatience and dissatisfaction with Allah's decree.
