Can you watch Sports in the Month of Ramadan ?

[yankeesx06]

I don't watch anything besides sports , but only watch the Yankees and College Football, but is it wrong watching sports ?

Let's go Yanks !

do you agree to waste your money ,? time is Allah money given to you ,an English talk says TIME IS MONEY ,DONT WASTE IT , you will regret once wasting your time

I wouldn't say it was haram, but I would say
1. If you watch a lot of sports i.e. more than around an hour a day, try to cut back drastically during this most holy of months, to pray, make du'a, read the Qur'an, do useful work, read meet worthy friends, help around the house etc.Maybe that's a lot for you, but just do what you can.
2. If the players are wearing shorts that show anything below the navel or above the knee, try not to watch, at least not on big screen so you don't notice insh!

May this be a truly blessed Ramadan for you, and all of us. (The Islamised version of Dickens' Tiny Tim, lol!)

That's easy. Yes you can watch. Question is can you support the nonmuslim player or team? Hope that helps.

Its not really haram per say but I would suggest you do dhikir at the same time.

saum maqbul

 

[Usef A]

It;s not Haram, just if you're Muslim you're supposed to be devoted to Allah completely in this month.

You have to know brother that just 3 things break the fast such as: Drinking, Eating and Having sex or ejaculation. So, anything else related to these factors can harm your fasting but won't break it. You can watch any kind of informative, healthy, educative... shows unless these programs do not make you forget about the philosophy of Ramadan and most of all doing your prayers properly.

not at all...there is nothing wrong with distracting yourself from other really BAD things that you dont realize are bad until ramadan time comes around...good luck...im muslim too
