QUESTION:

Is it haram for a women to laugh or even smile in front of namahram men?

ANSWER:

It is Haraam for a man or woman to do anything in front of a
namahram that could lead to any thoughts or actions of lust.
If the smiling or laughing, in any manner, could lead the namahram 
to think in a lustful manner, then it becomes Haraam.

Wassalaam,

Mustafa
