CAN A GIRL PLAY BASKETBALL?

[Albint_Almuslima]

:salam2:

I just wanted to know is it haram when a girl plays basketball.
You see i love playing basketball and i cant stop . I was asked by my gym teacher and by the girls basketball coach to play in the girls basketball team. However i refused due to the clothes they wear. But is it haram to play infront of other students, and is it haram for me to play any other sport. As you know i cant pass gym if i dont play. And if i dont pass gym i cant graduate.

You can play Basketball, as long as no men see you.

If you can wear clothes which are not revealing, then it is fine inshaAllah.

I used to play Basketball too, although my school was non-Muslim it was Boys only school, so not problem.

Wasalam.

Ok, I will try find out inshAllah, it is late here and I got to go.

But, one suggestion is to completely ditch it altogether, can you not get a letter written by your parents and cite your Islamic reasons for not being able to do it?? - This is one option

Yes, can you use religion as an excuse? It should work since you live in America...

No im not asking whether i should dress like them, i already told the couch im not going to play, he said its ok if i dont want to.

Im asking is it haram for me to play basketball in general without being in the team. just play with my friends in gym.

And NewMuslim they didnt ask me to wear shorts they asked me to wear pants but i dont wear pants.

no it's not haram for you to play basketball in general. Sports keep a person healthy and as long as its in the right atmosphere it should be fine.

(btw i like basketball too )

gym w/ both boys and girls.. eh.. that's a toughie...

can your friends get a secluded corner? Maybe a different timing?

If you have to go through w/ this class and its in a mixed setting and all... maybe you could just ask for a free basket on any little area??

Usually when we had b-ball ppl sorted themselves out.

There was a group of vigorous guys b-ball w/ all the school basketball players

A similiar girls section...

An i-am-being-forced section....

An i-am-not-really-doing-anything section...

A nobody-else-will-take-me section (sad, but i aint lieing)

AND maybe a couple of more low key areas... (too many groups to be specific)

Maybe you could avoid what's worse and find an area w/o too many ppl??

I don't know... just ideas... not sure what kind they are...

Wassalam.
