It is
an undeniable fact that
woman's practicing sport is,
in principle, Islamically
accepted. However, there are
many conditions to be met in
this respect:
1.
Women must not adorn
themselves for the purpose
of being seen by men.
2. They
must not unveil any of their
private parts that Islam
orders them to cover.
3. They
must not intermingle with
men in any way that brings
them physically close
together.
It is
reported that when the
Prophet (peace and blessing
be upon him) had a race with
`A'ishah (may Allah be
pleased with her), he made
sure that men were in the
front and `A'ishah in the
back. This has two
significances: First, the
permissibility of woman's
practicing sport, and
second, the requirements to
be met in this respect.
Thereby,
it is clear that Muslim
women's practicing sport is
governed by restrictions
relating to Islamic
observances that must be
followed.
