Saudi clerics declare football un-Islamic
Daily Times Monitor
LAHORE: Ulema in Saudia Arabia have issued a fatwa (religious decree)
declaring football an un-Islamic sport, and have urged the youth to quit
it immediately, BBC radio reported on Saturday.
According to the report, the clerics urged the youth to indulge in jihad
and other constructive activities that could help the Muslim ummah, the
radio reported. The ulema argued that football wastes a lot of time and
the participants wear shorts, which they said was an un-Islamic dress,
the radio reported.
Following the decree, some players of the famous Taif Football Club have
quit the game, the report added.
