Bismillah
Quote:If playing football for fun with friends is wrong ...... then i dont agree with it because where i live in uk if the youngsters are not meeting there friends and having fun whe going for football then they will go some place else to meet up with friends and have fun ......and these places are nightclubs etc which are definetely haraam so i think before any one gives a "fatwa" or something they should look a all aspects of it
wa alykom as salam Suhail
If u carefully examine the fatwa, he didnt say it is haram, he only sat a number of rules that must be followed which i dont see harmful. My reply was for u objecting to the rules, my reply was an effort to explain how the rules conform to Islamic laws. playing sports for this particular reason as you mentioned is actually highly recommended. However, let me add that u better take the niyah that u r doing this in order to avoid falling into haram. In such a situation, u will not only have fun, but also gain reward and closeness to Allah.
alhamdulelah u dont miss salat, but those crowd in a staduium they sure do, are u getting my point Suhail. This is becoming like drugs. i m sure u understand what i mean.
