The Response to Those Who Cite the Prophet’s (peace and blessings be upon him) Race with Aishah as Evidence for the Permissibility of Establishing Sports Clubs for Women
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, some people permit sports clubs for women and training them in combat so that young men do not approach them. They cite the action of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) and his racing with the Mother of the Believers, Aishah, as evidence for the permissibility of this. Is this evidence valid? This was with his wife,
Answer:
The race was with his wife. He did not take Aishah out for competitions; rather, he raced with her, and she was his wife. It is permissible for you to race with your wife, and Allah strengthens you. But as for letting your wife go to clubs, this is not permissible.
