Does skydiving remain dangerous and Islamically forbidden due to the harm inflicted upon the individual, even with the availability of very high safety factors and low accident rates compared to other activities?

We did not state an absolute prohibition on skydiving. Rather, the ruling is linked to the predominance of safety or lack thereof. If safety is predominantly expected, there is no prohibition. If destruction or harm is predominantly expected, it is prohibited. The statement of dislike (karahah) does not imply sinfulness; rather, it is disliked because it exposes oneself to risk without any benefit other than amusement.

As for women, the prevailing view is that they are absolutely prohibited from skydiving, due to the interaction and mixing with men without a Shar'i (Islamically lawful) need, the difficulty of maintaining hijab (definition) and concealment, and the availability of other recreational means that suffice.
