Summary
A husband pranking his wife by pretending to cheat is haram. It breaches the limits of Islamic law, which forbids excessive joking through deception and fabricated stories. It is also haram for either spouse to hurt the other to the point of emotional and physical harm. Such pranks should not be done, let alone shared on the internet and social media.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Maka kami simpulkan bahawa hukum suami melakukan prank kepada isteri dengan cara curang adalah haram di dalam Islam.
