A woman's laughter in front of non- men is impermissible if it incites desire or leads to temptation, as Allah has forbidden women from every action and word that attracts the attention of non-mahram men and arouses their instincts, such as His saying, the Almighty: "And let them not stamp their feet so as to make known what they conceal of their adornment." Likewise, a woman must cover her entire body from non-mahram men, and it is not permissible for her to uncover her face except when there is fear of harm or great difficulty.
