[Q9]: What is the ruling on a person who praises the status of a professional ballplayer who is a disbeliever, he praises him as he was instrumental in the team's victory? [A9]: He did not praise him because of his disbelief, rather he only praised him because of his game or his playing skills. In any case, this is a grave affair, one that he has earned sins due to it. However, it does not reach the level of disbelief. Disbelief would be if he praised him for his disbelief, misguidance, or polytheism. Then he would become a disbeliever. As for praising him due to his playing ability or some productive skill that he has, then this includes glorifying a disbeliever, which is a sin, but it does not reach the level of disbelief.

as-salaamu 'alaykum wa rahmatullaah What then is the ruling if someone is awed by or even impressed with a skill that a kaafir possesses but does not verbalize this feeling? Aboo Khadeejah Abdul-Malik ibn Chaney al-Kanadi

As salaamu alaikum wa rahmahtullah wa barakatu. Also, what about the clothing and other articles of these kufar athletes that are sold promoting these athletes, such as hats, jerseys, shoes, and items other than them, with their names and/or their player numbers on these items? Is it permissible to buy and wear these items? Are these things to be considered things of necessity, or things that imitiate the kuffar. Barak Allaahu Feekum. As salaamu alaikum wa rahmahtullah wa barakatu.
