The ruling on placing prizes on football matches
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. The questioner says: In football matches, if the one who sets a prize is not one of the competitors,
Answer:
is it permissible, or is it not permissible, for him to give something, even if he is not one of the competitors? This is a sport for which nothing is taken, but it is permissible if no sins occur in it and no violations occur. It is permissible because it strengthens the bodies, but no prizes are taken for it. Yes.
