It cannot be denied that sport is important and needed in our lives because it can make people healthy. When it is said that it benefits “people”, then it includes both genders; male as well as female.
However, Muslim women participation in sports always becomes an issue whereby people question the sports attire for Muslim women. Is there any proper attire can be worn by Muslim women when they involve in sports?
Islam allows women to compete in sports, but the condition is that they must follow the Muslim dress code to keep their aurat (parts of body that need to be covered). When Islam commands people to do things in such a way, it is believed that it is for the goodness of the ummah. The reasons why Islam encourages women to practice sport under certain rules are to preserve their dignity and honor, safeguard them against immoralities and indecency and also to preserve their chastity while preserving their right in practicing sports. Therefore, there is no barrier for Muslim women to involve in sports activities as long as they can still cover their aurat.
