Is this true?

Ramadan is here. It's a time of fasting and prayers. So when you're fasting, is it considered that you broke your fast when you laugh??? This is the first time I hear this. At work, I was having a conversation with two other colleages, and then we laughed at something funny. Then comes this other person who works with us as well (who I cannot stand AT ALL) walks by and says:

"ya jama3a...7aram it'tha7koon...il dinya ramadan!"

After I spoke and and semi-yelled my peice with him (I could not yell loudly since I was at the office), I pose this question to you. Is it 7arram (forbidden) to laugh while fasting in Ramadan?

Just ignore her there has been so many new fatwas and such these past couple years about Ramadam and religion. So far they are saying Gegeegan (the festival, not the show) is 7aram, and that you have to wait til the athan of futoor to finish completely then pray then you can futoor.
It is just one thing after another.

him or her, nibaq confused me?

of course it is forbidden to laugh (tickles him), if you laugh you break your fast (tickle, tickle). You have to resist all temptations to laugh (tickle devilshly).

So stop laughing.

TF: "Huh" is the word. I know.

Nibaq: Thats exactly what I did. I ignored him...well kind of.

Purgatory:How do u expect me not to laugh when you tickling me?

Sure not. If so then next year or so it will be 7ram to breath while u r fasting. As long as u r not harming anyone do whatever u want, enjoy life

Yes laughing too hard can lead to passing gas, and that is forbidden during Ramadanm especially in the work place or place of worship.

God Knows better

Laughing in Ramadhan???

God forbid!

Tell him/her:

"كثرة الضحك تميت القلب" "and you don't have one"

I think he/she'll understand.

I wish those people were in Ghettos, so we can enjoy our "silly-fatwas-less" life.

Guys, the person is a HE!

Let him "go to tha hell!"

Laugh all you want just make sure there is a point to your laughter! He might be getting things mixed up and wanted to say, "Athi7ik bidoon sabab, gilat adab!"

ًWhat do you think?

Nothing really, I just want to contribute but don't know what to say, So I'm using Paris Hilton's 'That's Hottt' though nothing here indicates any hotness.

Laughing fuels your metabolism thus making you hungrier..that's the only correlation which as you see has nothing to do with 7alal, 7aram or Kosher..
Now that's HOT!
:P

No laughing allowed..

But the following are acceptable:

-Honor killings
-Bullshit "Fatwas"
-Oppression
-Blaming God for things Mother Nature did (e.g. Tsunami/Hurricane)
-Yelling frantically on loudspeakers
-Cursing (America or Israel)
-Driving like a fucking maniac
-Turning into a complete glutton after sunset
-Pretending to be pious for just one lunar month out of the year
etc. etc...

Seriously man... If God wanted us to abstain from food, drink, sex, etc.. Surely he'd want us to LAUGH about it all...
---Sigh---

Islam: A good idea, gone bad...
