I don't seem to see Muslim women engage in sports or fitness - except for a few in the 'ladies only' gym I used to be a member of.
Can I ask if it is really uncommon, or do I just not see Muslim women because they don't do it publicly?
Or is sport frown upon? Or not considerd important?
hi glo, thnks for letting us no, merely i think it is a good event and there is no need for you 2 apologise as you had good intentions and you didnt say anything wrong but let us no, and i think sisters would have joined if it werent males spectators as we are supposed to be active in our community unless goes against our islamic teachings. but, i hope it goes well for you and your daughter. and do tell us about the outcome.
peace
^ true, having a good balanced diet keeps your body healthy and keeps you from going over weight, but you want to tone those muscles too right? some people are slim but really flabby
Sis!!!!
Let's continue this discussion in the sisters section.
But i think if you do some exercise and watch what u eat, and fast regularly you should be all right. Works for me anyway.
So I woldn't still take part in it. If the event was free from men then i don't think there would be anything wrong in taking part:sister:
I understand about modesty and conduct between men and women, and all that ... but can you explain why you would find running publicly immodest and inappropriate, if you were covered appropriately?
Thanks,
Peace glo
Here I stand.
I can do no other.
May God help me.
Amen.

I am assuing by question you mean infront of men (thats what you mean by publically right?)...thats a interesting question...But what you got to ask yourself is why does one need to run publicially? Why not have a separte event for WOMEN ONLY? I don't see the indeed for a muslim woman covered from head to toe running around publically. Its inappropriate. Look at it this way... how do i know that some guy is not admiring me? And is watching my every move. "Look at the way she runs wow"...etc I say if a woman wants to take part in a sport's even etc let her do it in a women only area.
That way she will feel more relaxed and comfortable.
