Women Playing Football

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, if women play football, does the curse fall upon them?

Answer:
No, the curse does not fall upon them, but this is not befitting for women. This is not befitting for women. Also, this leads to harms, as she takes off her clothes to play football in special, tight sports clothing. This is not befitting for a woman. Playing football is not among the characteristics of women, because football was not known among Muslims until recently.
