May Allah reward you, Honorable Shaykh. This questioner says: I am a teacher in a Qur'an memorization circle, and when we go on trips, we hold sports competitions. I? I am a teacher in a Qur'an memorization circle, and when we go on trips, we hold sports competitions in football and give prizes for them. What is the ruling on that?

As for playing football, if it is with the conditions we mentioned—meaning it does not involve exposing the private parts, it does not involve forbidden speech, and it does not occupy one from the prayer at its time—then it is permissible. Yes.
