Answer
(Fatwa: 464/420=L)
Sports played for health and exercise are allowed provided they do not cause uncovering or slackness in religious duties. But, if sport is turned into objective of life leading to laziness in performing religious matters then it is unlawful. Cricket also has the same ruling.
