What is the ruling on boxing, bullfighting, and free wrestling?
Boxing and bullfighting are forbidden due to the great harm and torment of animals involved in them. A resolution has been issued by the Islamic Fiqh Council prohibiting them. As for professional wrestling (freestyle wrestling) that involves no danger, harm, or exposure of 'awrah (private parts), there is no objection to it.
