There is a group of ladies in our area that have a woman trainer to come home and do exercises with them.

Question

I came across the following fatwa approved by Mufti Zubair Bayat. It seems Mufti Zubair Bayat always remains undercover while towing the UUCSA line. QUESTION There is a group of ladies in our area that have a woman trainer to come home and do exercises with them. This lady intends on introducing some other exercises with them that originate from 'Yoga'. I know that yoga originates from the hindu culture, however they intend to use only the exercises/stretching techniques from yoga and not to practice yoga itself. There will be no meditation, humming and all the other aspects of yoga, just exercises. Will this be permissible? A: This is acceptable, provided that the conditions mentioned in the question are fully upheld and no other un-Islamic practices are found. Mufti ShafiqJakhura Iftaa Department, DarulIhsan Islamic Services Centre I concur with the answer: Mufti Zubair Bayat Ameer, DarulIhsan Islamic Services Centre

Answer

Firstly understand that the entity dubbed Darul Ihsan is actually Darush Shaitaan. The two wayward molvis who issued their junk fatwa of permissibility for the initiation of shirk and kufr under the guise of physical exercise, are juhala and agents of Iblees. These two characters lack intellectual discernment to differentiate between even jam and faeces. They always gravitate to haraam and shaitaaniyat. They have become experts in halaalizing haraam fisq, fujoor, riba and kufr.

Even if the satanic gym for women does not introduce Hindu kufr yoga, then too it is haraam for women to congregate for the type of exercises mentioned in the question. When it is not permissible for women to go to even the Musjid for Fardh Salaat, then how can it ever be permissible for them to go to a gym where shaitaan will incumbently be present? If these misguided characters are able to refer to the Kutub of the Fuqaha, they will find that it is not permissible for females to attend even a Walimah.

Even without Hindu yoga, it is not permissible for Muslim females to gather so shamelessly for exercises as do the kuffaar women of the west. Such gatherings of females are nugatory of the Imaani hayaa attribute of Muslim women.

Shaitaan is a cunning ustaadh. He approaches in seemingly good form with baits which ostensibly appear to be permissible. By imperceptible degrees he draws his victims into his snare of fisq, fujoor and kufr. Allah Ta'ala says: "Do not come near to zina."(Qur'aan). This is a general principle applicable to all kinds of sin. By degrees Iblees draws his victims near to fisq, fujoor, shirk and kufr with the yoga shaitaaniyat halaalized by the moron so-called muftis who are unable to distinguish between right and left.

While Iblees calls the women to participate in expressing themselves at the gym, the Qur'aan commands them to remain "glued in their homes", and not to make an "exhibition" of themselves. Female emergence from the home for acts and practices which eliminate Imaani haya, is the stepping stone for greater evil and immorality. When women gather to behave like monkeys with their exercises, they denude themselves of their garment of Haya. When Haya is abandoned, the vacuum is filled by obscenity and shamelessness. Their shamelessness is compounded by means of the Hindu kufr yoga exercises.

A woman should exercise in the privacy of her home, not in a gathering of women outside her home. Rascal, deviate moron 'muftis' have ruined innumerable women with their corrupt Ibleesi 'fatwas'.
