The awrah for a man is between his navel to his knees, men and women shudnt look at the awrah of other men and women. Footballers shorts come just above their knees so there fore its not permissible for us to look yet alot of ppl still watch the football, i dnt get why.

I know ukhti, our imaam did a khutba on that - dedicated to footy. BTW we not allowed to have the england flag as well because it has a cross on which, is obvious but sometimes you don't think about these things. It's the same as wearing that neclace which the kafirs have with a cross...

Remember that hadith which states that we going to be raised with the people who we imitate and follow - so be careful & look after your hearafter inhsa' Allah

Ladies discussing footy in this context? There's only one thing for it. I'm going to count the amount of female members who post on this thread and mention at least one of the following television programmes:

EastEnders
Coronation Street
Emmerdale
Home and Away
Neighbours

On-topic, I think this has been discussed. I'll see if I can find the thread inshallah.

Tell that to some people and you'll get called an extremist, I agree with your points.

What does that have anything to do with it i dnt understand.

We dnt have tv in our house so no we dnt watch any of those programmes. I wouldnt bring up an issue such as this if I had double standards.

TV is bad anywhere, we not suppose to watch it for many reasons. These soaps are very addictive but can influence your ways in many ways. you can pick up their kind of behaviour and most of its bad anywhere. Like take my little sister for example shes learned a lot of swears just by watching a little bit of soaps. Alhamdualilah don't have a tv now :) So much better

I have wondered about this for ages and noone has told me, I have never heard anyone like imam or somethin speak on this, they always say how we should not spend too much time and so on football and others say how some muslims cry over football but they aint never said it aint allowed.
Wierd hey, I thought it wouldnt be I been askin but noone seems to know for sure.

So sis did you come to the conclusion yourself or have you read anything about this matter?
Jus wondering.

Thank you

Asalamulaikum.

I agree sister however please lets not turn this thread into "tv is bad" I was just wanting to know why ppl watch the football when the footballers awrah is on show. I mention football because its the worldcup at the moment and alot of ppl are going to be watching it. It would be better for them to listen on the radio rather then watching it.

My husband is allowed to have the football on in the corner of his comp at work but he told them its ok n they were baffled n he explained to them about the awrah thing, n his collegues agreed that the muslim teams are missing out on dawah oportunities because of this as they cud wear longer shorts n this wud cause ppl to ask questions regarding the muslim faith.

Also there is a footballer my husband was telling me about however i cant remember the guys name but hes a revert n wears long cycling shorts underneath his football shorts so that it covers his awrah, May Allah swt reward him. Ameen.

I agree, put away the televisions and flags, and get the radios out!

Come on (insert country of your choice)!
 
Wait a second, now Im jus wondering, cyclin shorts canot cover someone, I mean thats worse than jeans right?

I mean May Allah guide me and the brother, but from what I have been told, tight stuff aint a cover and I dont think you can get much tighter than cyclin shorts lol.

Salam Aleykum

I cant remember if my husband sed cycling shorts or regular gym shorts, but even so atleast its an attempt to cover the awrah. N theyre worn under the football shorts so its not like how u think.
 
I used to play soccer/football, my team mates wore them under their shorts, so where the shorts end you'll see a bit of really tight cover, which doesnt do much as for hiding the shape of the tigh.

Anyhow I hope someone tells the brother.

I dont get it though, I read a hadeeth (yall correct me if im mistaken) where the prophet peace be upon him covered his tigh only when Umar I think came in, but not when Abu Bakr was there, I don't get that, and the man givin the fatwa was using it as a proof that the tigh should be covered, hmm.

anyhow, I'd love to see some scholars say something about this, I mean jee saudi is in the world cup.
 
Just because saudi is in the world cup doesnt mean practicing muslims are.
 
pop up blockers, and if ur worried about things popin up then dont go oursite ur house to the masjid either :p

jus kididn

on another note, the reason I stated that sauid were int he world cup was that, if saudi is then i mean it cant be that obscure of a thing for scholar, they must know something about footy by now.
