The ruling on racing in matters that aid in jihad without the intention of training, but merely for recreation

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : I ask. Honorable Shaykh, may Allah reward you. If the race is in something that is used to assist in performing jihad, but the two racers did not intend at all to train or practice in this thing, but merely for recreation,

The Shaykh : Yes.

The questioner : Now.

The Shaykh : There is nothing wrong with it, yes.

The questioner : and speed.

The Shaykh : What is the ruling on these three? Because this is something that must assist you if jihad occurs; it would have aided you.
