Q7: Is it permissible to leave fasting for one day because of football?
A7: It is not permissible to break the fast during the day in Ramadan for the sake of sports, such as football or anything else; because that is not among the legitimate excuses that permit
breaking the fast. And success is from Allah, and may Allah send prayers and blessings upon our Prophet Muhammad, his family, and his Companions.
