Oh world this is the rule of watching the World Cup
In the name of of Allah the Merciful
Praise be to God, prayer and peace be upon the Messenger of Allah and after:
This is the answer of the Standing Committee for Scientific Research and Fatwa to a question in the ruling on watching sports matches in general and football in particular I put it in the hands of my brothers who want to spread good, especially as we are coming to the World Cup - and God helped - which has hijacked the minds of people, old and young, educated and ignorant. Even some of those who count on the people of integrity have not been spared from this calamity and how sad it is to pass by a café and see that huge number of spectators to the match standing and sitting among them from the beard and the palace of the shirt if they shouted ... And if they jump and so on and God is used, if the most famous claws in your face advise him defending falsehood falsely, arguing that there is nothing in that unless he is distracted from prayer, and the thigh revealisis is a controversial issue, and our team plays against the infidels and other fragile arguments that are worthless to the people of foresight, and now I leave you with the text of the question and Answer

Question 2 of fatwa No. (18951)
Q2: What is the ruling on watching the sports match, which is the World Cup match and others?
(Part 15, page: 239)
C2: Football matches that have money or similar prizes are haraam, because it is not permissible to take the lead, which is compensation, except in what is authorized by the Shariah, which is the contest on horses, camels and archery. The match was not compensated and did not occupy the prayers of God and others, and did not include a prohibition: the detection of awrah, the mixing of women with men, or the presence of machines for fun - there is nothing wrong with them or watching them. By God, may God pray to our Prophet Muhammad, his god and his companions and peace.

My Muslim brother, after i read the fatwa, can you prevent the teams participating in the World Cup from taking compensation, but say the qamar- God bless me and you?
