Question
There is a group calling themselves 'Deen Team'. This group's primary activity is kuffaar sport. They have organised a soccer tournament. Is this permissible?
Answer
The scoundrels who organize haraam sports are followers of Iblees. The appropriate name for them is Devil's Team. They are apes and pigs according to the Hadith.
It is mentioned in the Hadith of our Nabi (Sallallahu alayhi wasallam):
"People of this Ummah indulging in sport and futility (sport, music, and the like) will rise in the morning disfigured into apes and pigs"
In another Hadith it is mentioned:
"Whilst indulging in sport and futility, Allah Ta'ala will cause the earth to swallow them. … Allah will send showers of stone from the sky as was sent upon the nation of Loot (Alayhis salaam)."
The time will still come for such scoundrels and devils of this Devil's Team to be physically transformed into pigs and apes. Currently they have the hearts of apes and swines. They will still acquire the faces of apes and pigs.
