Don’t be a fool by participating in April fool’s day. It is based on deception and lies, both of which are completely forbidden in Islam. The Prophet ﷺ informed us that whoever cheats us is not a true Muslim, and whoever lies to make people laugh is cursed.It was narrated that Mu’aawiyah ibn Haydah said: “I heard the Prophet ﷺ say:
‘Woe to the one who talks to make the people laugh and tells lies, woe to him, woe to him.’ [ al-Tirmidhi, 235]Some people say, “but it is only a simple joke… something small” etc. no harm intended or done. However, we all know that similar arguments regarding other forbidden practices in Islam are unacceptable. For example, considering the fact that the Prophet (pbuh) prohibited touching a woman who you could marry (i.e., you are not mahram to her), to argue that the Western practice of kissing females on the cheek when meeting is only a simple peck or a small act, is clearly wrong.
