The ruling on watching a football match where the thigh is exposed
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. He says: What is the ruling on watching soccer, considering that it involves exposing the 'awrah (the part of the body that must be covered) for the players, specifically the thigh?
Answer:
If they expose from the knee and above, it is not permissible to look at it; this is wrong. But if they cover their 'awrah, it is better not to look, because this is idle play and a waste of time, and it has no benefit. Yes.
