Question

Assalamualaikum,
There are lots of meme circulating on social media about ramadhan,
It seems offensive,i.e one caption goes like this
” i love ramdhan, coz atleast during ramadhan i surely have a DATE every evening .”
What does ulama kiram say about such humour.

Answer

بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم

A muslim should refrain from joking about Islam or any aspect of Islam. Moreover, if these types of jokes are meant to belittle or insult Islam, then it is considered as Kufr.
