Islam encourages the practice of sports to achieve health and strength, but it may become forbidden if associated with prohibited acts. Bowing to anyone other than Allah is forbidden because it constitutes polytheism, as indicated in the of Anas ibn Malik: "Do not bow to him." It is also impermissible to invite anyone to participate in a sport if you know that they will engage in something forbidden during it, because this constitutes cooperation in sin.
