How to Do Sports Modestly and Avoid Free-Mixing?

08 November, 2022
Q Salaam Alaykum wa rahmatullAllahi wa barakatūh. So I’m currently doing some sports. My parents want me to finish this sport but it involves free mixing, not the proper modest clothes etc. I already explained to them that I want to stop this immediately, but they still force me to go to the sport. I’m i sinful for this? I also do another sport that sometimes when I don’t know non mahrams are present. At the time I’m doing the sport there are only women, but around like the visitors are non-mahram men. What do I do?

Consider the option of wearing more modest clothes while doing sports if that makes you more comfortable. Talk to your parents and ask them to find you some. 

At the same time, it is good to learn about how to deal with situations where non-mahrams are present as well. 

What you can control is your stance and intention to keep the distance and reduce contact as much as possible. You can still keep it halal while participating in day-to-day activities at school or other places. 

If you want to know more about the permissibility of school sports or activities and free-mixing, please check it out in our section, Ask the Scholar.
