What is the ruling on opening a shop for women to play snooker and billiards, and what are the consequences for women when they go to such places?
Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
When opening sports halls specifically for women, it is necessary to adhere to the legal Islamic guidelines for practicing sports. This includes ensuring the preservation of 'awraat (parts of the body that must be covered) and avoiding mixing with men. It is more befitting for a Muslim woman to engage in sports and recreation in her home.
