Sports and Entertainment in Islam by Shaykhul Islam Mufti Muhammad Taqi Usmani حفظه الله

-------------------

Sports which are permissible to play, are also permissible to watch, so long as they do not contain any sin. In my opinion, to watch anything (including sports, news, political debates etc.) on TV is (without a shadow of doubt) a waste of time even if it is for a nano-sec or 2. Almost all of the TV programs are a composite of many sins as per saying of Mufti Muhammad Taqi Usmani حفظه الله

It is better to indulge yourself in Zikr, Prayer or any other Islamic practice. Even if you play any of the permissible sports, play it to keep yourself physically fit and healthy (i.e with the intention that I am playing this to keep myself fit and healthy so that I be able to do maximum work for Islam).

Remember, why did Allah Most High create us?

I did not create the Jinns and the human beings except for the purpose that they should worship Me. [Al-Quran 51:56]
