Playing football
Question
Is the playing of football (as opposed to watching) permissible if one's satar is not exposed, Salaah with Jamat is not missed, there is no swearing, arguing etc and the intention is to keep physically fit?
Answer
If it is just informal playing and unorganised and there is no other haraam element involved then it is permissible.
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.
