Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : O Shaykh, may Allah reward you. Are bicycle and car racing today not to be judged by the standard of racing in the time of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him)?
The Shaykh : There is no doubt that they are to be judged by that standard, but only without a stake. That is to say, if two people race on bicycles, there is no objection, or if they race in cars, there is no objection, as long as there is no stake.
