Is practicing sports and dedicating time to them permissible?
Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
Sports that aim to build and strengthen the body, so as to aid in obedience to Allah, are permissible, provided they do not distract one from an obligatory duty, and no forbidden act is committed therein, such as uncovering the 'awrah. It is permissible to allocate time for them, provided that it is proportionate to one's obligations, so that rights are not neglected or duties are not abandoned.
