What is the answer to those who cite Aisha’s race with the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) as evidence for the permissibility of teaching physical education to girls?

Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. The Riyadh newspaper published a poll in its issue last Thursday regarding teaching physical education in girls' schools. They included interviews with educational supervisors and students, and they cited the fact that Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) engaged in sports, racing the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), and that he approved of her doing so. What is the opinion on this argument? How should one respond to it? And what is your guidance regarding this matter?

Answer:
We say that they are now demanding physical sports, pressing for it with insistence, and citing the story of Aisha. If Aisha raced her husband, there is no harm in a woman doing sports with her husband. But as for going out to the clubs, going outside the house to the clubs, no, no, swimming, and this is not permissible, and riding bicycles—did Aisha do this? Far from it, absolutely not. But with her husband in the house, there is no harm.
