Sports stimulants are substances that unnaturally increase a player's activity, making them compete unfairly. These include stimulants, depressants, anabolic hormones, and others. Medical research has proven that their use leads to dangerous psychological, neurological, and organic diseases that can result in death or infertility. Based on these harms, the consumption of sports stimulants is impermissible Islamically, due to the resulting harm to oneself and throwing oneself into destruction, which is forbidden by the Quran and Sunnah.
