Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, this questioner says: Is watching football matches or going to the stadiums to watch them considered idle talk?

Or going
The questioner:
to the stadiums to see them, is it considered idle talk?
The Shaykh:
It is considered a waste of time with no benefit. If it involves forbidden sounds and does not involve exposing the private parts, because most players expose their thighs and lift their clothing above their knees, then these are abominations and this is not permissible. Yes.
