Laughing at the name of Allah Ta'ala in another language
Question
Allah is known as "eel" in a language but in English it looks funny. If I laughed at it, is it kufr? I know we should avoid it, but if done is it kufr?
Answer
You did not laugh at Allah Ta`ala, you laughed at listening to something that you are not used to. However, be more cautious in the future.
And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.

Fatawa SA is an independent, read-only index of fatawa already published by Mufti Online — Madrasah Ta'leemuddeen. It is not a fatwa service. For your own situation, ask the issuing Darul Ifta directly.
