35 What is the ruling on watching sports matches, such as world cup matches

The second question of Fatwa no. 18951

Q 2: What is the ruling on watching sports matches, such as world cup matches and the like?


( Part No : 15, Page No: 239)
A: It is unlawful to play football matches for money or any other rewards because this is a type of gambling. It is not permissible to take a reward in a competition unless this competition is permissible in the Shari`ah such as horse or camel racing and shooting. Consequently, attending football matches and watching them is unlawful for a person who knows that they are played for a reward, for attending such matches involves approving of them. However, there is no harm in watching matches if they are not played for a reward, do not distract people from obligatory acts of worship such as Salah (Prayer), do not include any unlawful practice such as the display of `Awrah (private parts of the body that must be covered in public) or men and women mixing or use of musical instruments.May Allah grant us success! May peace and blessings be upon our Prophet Muhammad, his family and Companions!
