FIQH OF SPORTS, RECREATION AND ENTERTAINMENT
Teacher: Shaykh Abdur Rahman Ibn Yusuf
Sport, and other forms of physical recreation, can be an enjoyable and effective way in achieving a healthy lifestyle. People participate in recreation due to certain motives which could include a search for pleasure, stress release, socialising, physical fitness, personal achievement, self-confidence and staying fit in order to carry out every command of Allah. Activities like swimming, archery and horse riding are especially encouraged by Islam. Entertainment is also increasingly taking up large parts of people day-to-day lives such that in some cases sadly it effects a persons duty towards family, friends and even Allah.
