My question is the brother's name is

00:00:06 --> 00:00:07

Shazin

00:00:07 --> 00:00:09

from India, and he is an engineer by

00:00:09 --> 00:00:12

profession. The question is, does participating

00:00:13 --> 00:00:13

in taekwondo,

00:00:14 --> 00:00:17

is participating taekwondo haram or halal as it

00:00:17 --> 00:00:18

involves

00:00:18 --> 00:00:19

scoring points

00:00:20 --> 00:00:22

by kicking the opponent on the head or

00:00:22 --> 00:00:22

the face?

00:00:23 --> 00:00:25

Abloud prophet Muhammad, peace be upon him, said

00:00:25 --> 00:00:28

that we should not strike or hit the

00:00:28 --> 00:00:29

face of an individual.

00:00:30 --> 00:00:31

So it is haram to hit the face

00:00:32 --> 00:00:32

of our brother.

00:00:33 --> 00:00:36

So taking part in any sport

00:00:36 --> 00:00:39

or in any martial art that involves in

00:00:39 --> 00:00:42

hitting the face, this should be avoided

00:00:42 --> 00:00:44

as far as hitting the face is concerned.

00:00:44 --> 00:00:46

So for example, if a person is taking

00:00:46 --> 00:00:49

part in Taekwondo or in mixed martial arts

00:00:49 --> 00:00:51

and he's taking part in a tournament which

00:00:51 --> 00:00:54

involves hitting the face, this should not be

00:00:54 --> 00:00:55

done. He should not take part in such

00:00:55 --> 00:00:56

tournaments.

00:00:56 --> 00:00:59

But if a person wants to learn martial

00:00:59 --> 00:01:02

arts or Taekwondo or karate or any other

00:01:02 --> 00:01:04

sport or mixed martial art, there is no

00:01:04 --> 00:01:06

problem in learning it in order to make

00:01:06 --> 00:01:09

himself strong and for self defense. Ablail prophet

00:01:09 --> 00:01:10

Muhammad peace be upon him said.

00:01:15 --> 00:01:17

The strong believer is more loved to Allah

00:01:17 --> 00:01:19

subhanahu wa ta'ala than the weak believer.

00:01:20 --> 00:01:22

So for self defense, there is no problem.

00:01:22 --> 00:01:24

And when a person is learning Taekwondo or

00:01:24 --> 00:01:27

karate or any mixed martial art, it is

00:01:27 --> 00:01:28

good to learn it. But you should see

00:01:28 --> 00:01:31

to that to avoid hitting the face. This

00:01:31 --> 00:01:34

is against the teachings of Islam. I hope

00:01:34 --> 00:01:35

that answers your question.
