Playing cricket as a profession
Question
Is earning money by playing cricket halaal? Can one choose cricket as his profession in order to earn money?
Answer
It is not among the halaal occupations that have been sanctioned by the shariah.
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.
