Adult playing sports
Question
Is it haraam to play soccer or cricket with the awrah covered and only amongst men even when I make time for ibaadat and follow fardh and sunnat?
Answer
We will not say that it is haraam, but it is something that is not encouraged. More especially when it is a grown up person, he should be valuing his time and saving himself from futilities.
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.
