If they greet you, then return their greeting, advise them sincerely and direct them to do good...” [Majmū‘ Fatāwa Ibn Bāz (5/246)].

2⃣. It diverts from the remembrance of Allāh: * Missing prayers, circles of knowledge, fulfilling the rights of one's parents, etc. 3⃣. Waste of time: * A football games lasts 90 minutes (excluding extra time). How many pages of Qur'ān could one recite in that time? * Everyone will be questioned regarding their time in this Dunya, including these 90 minutes. 4⃣. Football is an ideological tool used by the disbelievers to wage war against the Muslims, although many Muslims don't realise it. Ask yourself this: What has allowed so many disbelievers to enter the Arabian Peninsula (Qatar)? What has given people the pass to drink alcohol openly in a Muslim country? What has allowed them to bring immorality to a Muslim land and forced Muslims to turn a blind eye and receive them with such respect and hospitality? No wonder why the FIFA president described this as the best world cup ever‼️ Look at how the Muslim youth have become preoccupied with football. Is this not something the enemies want? 5⃣. Waste of money: - Stadiums & training facilities - Preparations for events, security, staff, etc. - Broadcast and sponsorship deals - Salary for footballers & transfer fees * imagine if this wealth was used to build Salafi marakiz, fund students of knowledge, support the poor and needy, equip and train soldiers to defend Muslim territory against the enemies... 6⃣. Gambling 7⃣. It presents evil people as role models 8⃣. It leads to injury and even loss of life: - footballers overwork themselves on and off the pitch and go all out during games; committing themselves in every tackle, block, dual, etc. which leads to frequent injuries. After all, they have to live up to their price tag, or else they'll be warming the benches. - hooliganism (bad manners, swearing, insults, evil slogans, racism...) - stampedes due to overcrowding - migrant workers used to build stadiums in record times leads to unsafe working environments. 9⃣. Not to mention the music, free mixing, alcohol, and other evil practices that take place in stadiums during these matches.
