Answer:
While remembering Allah in what Allah has made permissible, but with the remembrance of Allah, do not neglect the remembrance of Allah. This is what occupies you and does not burden you.[An-Nisa 4:103] It does not burden you. Do not neglect the remembrance of Allah, neither in hunting, nor in comfort, nor in recreation. Always remember Allah (Mighty and Majestic). Yes.
