@brother warea - Provide the basis then. Give evidence from the Fuqahaa and the Sahaabah where they considered the necessity for such sporting facilities for women. The hadith of the Ethiopians has been misinterpreted to death. If you are correct in your statement please provide for me one statement from the Aimmah, muhadditheen and the commentators who have inferred that sporting facilities for women are allowed from this hadith. The onus of the proof is on the claimant. If you are unable to provide one such statement then please retract your statement. you say that my quote in itself is the basis. Basis for what? Sporting facilities for women???? Or only allowing certain forms of 'entertainment' for men?? Following the sahaabah is a command of Rasulullah and the Qur'aan in the verse I quoted. They are our role models. Please expound further instead of making general statements. May Allah forgive us.
