Aslam

Praise be to Allah.We put this question to Shaykh Muhammad ibn Saalih al-‘Uthaymeen,

may Allaah preserve him, who answered as follows:

There are many wrong things involved in football, such

as showing the ‘awrah (parts of the body that should be covered) and

swearing, etc. Taking part in these things is haraam. So let them look

for something else, and Allaah will provide for them.
