Is profit from renting a football field permissible or impermissible, taking into consideration the closure of the field during prayer times, receiving money in advance, the official uniform revealing the 'awrah, and the occurrence of insults and blasphemy among the players?
Renting out a football field is permissible because playing football is intrinsically lawful. The rental fee is for the permissible use of the facility, not for any unlawful acts that might occur, such as abusive language or the exposure of 'awrah (parts of the body that should be covered). The lessor should advise the players and forbid them from evil acts to the best of his ability.
