Earning money through playing football
Question
I have a question on money earned from football, I just want to know if the money is haraam or halaal?
Answer
If you are referring to a person being hired by a team for playing and taking part in tournaments etc., then this source of income is not permissible. For further details, refer to http://muftionline.co.za/node/7685.
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.
