Question

i had asked you about ruling in islam regarding Yoga ❓

Answer

📜Opinion

Yoga is mainly practised and taught by Hindu jogis / their religious heads.

It is advised not to do this and do other routine exercises.

Does a Muslim require yoga if he is praying 5 times.? If you want more meditation you may pray Tahajjud. If more than you can pray Chaasht, if more than you can pray Salat ul awabeen, if more than you can pray Salat ut Tasbeeh. May walk more and play sports complying with Shariah.

You will not require Yoga for meditation, peace and better health.

ان شاء الله
