Fariq Naik – Following Celebrities that are indirectly Involved in Haraam

The second category of celebrities are those who are indirectly

involved in Haram. For example, a person who is a football or

basketball player, they may be playing football and football per

se it is not haram, but they are indirectly involved in haram for

example, they may be wearing shorts or their lifestyle is such

that they may be in Haram relationships etc, many of them

they drink alcohol. So, this also following them, it is macro or it

can even be haram. So, this also should be avoided, but if we are

merely following them for their particular sport, for example, a

footballer or a basketball player and it is only limited to this,

then inshallah this should not be a problem best is not natural to

avoid but this it should not be a problem. But unfortunately many

times when a person follows a sports star, a football or a

basketball player or any other sports stars, this increases and a

person starts revealing this person a person starts considering

this footballer or this basketball player as a role model and starts

following his lifestyle, his hairstyle, the way he dresses, all

of this, it should totally be avoided.
