Summary
A Taekwondo demonstration or similar activity that is not an act of worship and may tarnish the sanctity of the mosque should be avoided in the prayer space. Such activity involves vigorous movement and raised voices, and worldly distractions and raised voices in a mosque or surau are regarded as a lapse in etiquette that disturbs its tranquility. The fatwa suggests holding the activity in a more suitable place such as a hall or the mosque courtyard.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Adapun ruang dan dewan solat perlulah dikhususkan sebagai tempat untuk beribadah dan mendekatkan diri kepada Allah SWT sahaja.
