Attending football matches in the stadiums
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Sami asks, saying: Is it permissible to attend football matches in the stadiums, provided that one maintains the prayer at its proper time?
Answer:
What is the benefit, my brother, in attending the matches? What do you gain from them? Do you gain anything from them in religion or in this world? It is nothing but play, heedlessness, and a waste of time, so do not attend them. Yes.
