Is it permissible to practice boxing—exhibition shows free of violence and severe beating—in public places after the cessation of fights and championships due to the harm they inflict on the body and the Prophet’s (peace and blessings be upon him) prohibition of striking the face?

The answer

It is permissible to present boxing shows to the public or in designated venues for displays if they are free from direct harm or striking the face, because the ruling revolves around its underlying cause, whether present or absent. It is recommended to utilize these shows to disseminate noble messages such as the importance of health and encouraging youth to engage in beneficial sports, while ensuring modest attire and avoiding harm and injury.
