Q
Is it permissible in Islam for a woman to be a sports journalist?
Answer
In the Name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful.
All praise and thanks are due to Allah, and peace and blessings be upon His Messenger.
Answering your question, Sheikh Mustafa Umar, President of California Islamic University, states:
I cannot see any reason for a woman not to be a sport journalist as long as she follows the guidelines for modesty in gender relations. Many Muslim women are journalists in general and I cannot see a reason why sports would be a different category.
Almighty Allah knows best.
