A lot of Muslims began following MMA or UFC (don't know the difference and I don't really care) closely after Khabib beat Connor McGregor. Muslims were celebrating Khabib's victory because McGregor said something about Muslims.
Yet, these Muslims fail to realize all of this mixed martial arts fighting is HARAAM. You really think Allah supports these "fighters" for making millions of dollars to break the bones of others? And what about the awrah of these men? They are exposing what they are supposed to cover, yet no one cares!
This is the selective "halaal and haraam" Muslim men engage in. What Khabib does is haraam. However, since he is a male, it is much easier to get away by sinning without the haraam police coming at you.
Imagine a FEMALE Muslim fighter. What do you think the response would be? I know, it would go something exactly like this "ASTAGHFIRULLAH, where is this woman's shame? Where is the shame of her brother and father? How can they let her go out like this?"
Although I don't think MMA is inherently haram, but I agree with you! He's praised to be pious (which he is) but he also sins? According to orthodox Islam, his clothes aren't even Hijab for him when he fights. Yet NO scholar not even the most liberal ones said anything about it! If a hijabless women fighter, fought, and then did what khabib did, speak about Islam and is a pious woman, the men would be jumping in their seats with anger. Thanks for pointing out the hypocrisy. Because you're the first person I've seen on the internet point this out.
