Game allowed in Islam

In addition to the rules of prohibited or unlawful games to be performed and executed, there are various halal and permissible plays to be practiced in Islamic shari'ah. Here are a variety of halal games and may be even recommended in Islamic shari'ah. What permits are allowed and recommended in Islam?

Game or game Running Competition (marathon)

One form of halal game is run. The Companions once raced to fellow them, and the Messenger of Allah. approved the game of the race. Even. Messenger of Allah. himself once raced to run with his wife, 'Aisha, as entertainment for him and teaching for his companions.

Ahmad and Abu Daud narrated from 'A'ishah ra. that he said:

سابقني رسول االله صلى االله عليه وسلم فسقته, فلبث حتى إذا أرهقني اللحم )أي سمنت( سابقني فسبقني, فقال: هذه بتلك أي واحدة بواحدة 0

"Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him) pursued me, so I pursued him, and in a few times I continued to excel in every race, so when my body became fat, then we raced away and he can outrun me, so he said, 'one-one'".

Wrestling Games:

Abu Daud narrates that the Messenger of Allah. playing wrestling with "Rukanah", and the Messenger of Allah. several times can drop it. In one history it is said that the Messenger of Allah. wrestling with Rukanah, then the Messenger of Allah. said, "Sheep with sheep".) And the Messenger of Allah. able to knock him down, so Rukanah said, "Fight me the next time". And at the appointed time, the Messenger of Allah. can drop it again. Rukanah was still challenging, "Fight me next time". Messenger of Allah. at times it can also beat him for the third time. Then Rukanah said, "What do I say to my family? What shall I say that the sheep has been eaten by wolves, or is the sheep running away? What shall I say in my third defeat?" Then the Messenger of Allah. said, "We did not gather to bring you down and make you lose.

Arrow Game

The other game is to play arrows and spears. We have mentioned that the Messenger of Allah. once passed to his group practicing archery. Then the Messenger of Allah. encourage them, and say:

ارموا وأنامعكم كلكم0

"Archer and I am with you all".

Only, the Messenger of Allah. warning the players not to target livestock as an arrow, as an exercise, which occurred in the age of ignorance.

Asy-Syaikhani narrated from Abdu '1-Lah ibn Umar ra. that Ibn Umar saw a group of people making livestock as a target of arrows. So he said:

إن النبي صلى االله عليه وسلم نهى عن التحريش بين البهائم0

"The Prophet (peace be upon him) forbade pitting / poking between animals".

Abu Daud and At-Tirmidhi narrated that the Messenger of Allah. prohibits encouraging between animals ".

Namely by pitting fellow beasts so that one or all injured and even died, as is usual done by the Arabs in the age of ignorance.

From these hadiths we can know how Islam commands us to love animals, forbid torturing and doing evil to them. In fact we know the Islamic law of what is known now as the game "Matador", bullfighting!

Play the game Spear:

Including the game is legalized, is playing spear. We have already mentioned that the Messenger of Allah. Allowing the Habashahs to spear at the glorious Prophet's mosque, and allow his wife 'A'ishah, to witness it.

This is the tolerance of the Messenger of Allah. With his attitude of approving a game like this, which he performed in his glorious mosque. All this is meant to gather between religion and world, between worship and jihad. And this is not just playing, but sport and practice.

Horseback Riding Games:

We have already mentioned the discussion of "The Bond of Sports", at length. For more details, readers are welcome to reopen the sheets.

The basis of the problem is: Hadith narrated by Ath-Thabrani with sanad jayyid, from the Messenger of Allah. that he said:

"All things in which there is no dhikrullah, remember Allah, then he is a neglectful game, except for four kinds: archery, train his horse, make love to his wife and learn to swim ..."

Also atsar Umar ra .:

إن النبي صلى االله عليه وسلم لعن من اتخذ شيئا فيه الروح

"Indeed the Messenger of Allah (saws) cursed the one who made something animate as a target".

Sports and games that are allowed, recommended and lawful to do otherwise are Hunting or Hunting and Playing Chess. About these two will be presented separately in the categories of games allowed in Islamic Shari'ah
