Are Women Allowed to Laugh in Public in Islam?

 


If men are allowed to laugh in public why shouldn’t women? Who are we to legislate for women? Legislation in Islam is the exclusive right of Allah and His messenger. There is no text in the Qur’an putting such a restriction on women.

Therefore, this is at best an example of misogyny and Islam is innocent of it. It is clear from the Qur’an that women are free to speak and express themselves even as men do; they are not to use sexually enticing mannerisms or expressions even as men are not allowed to do.

    Allah Almighty knows best.
