Ref: mis013/07 August 2007 Q: 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 sime 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 Shafiq Jakhura Iftaa Department, Darul Ihsan Islamic Services Centre I concur with the answer: Mufti Zubair Bayat Ameer, Darul Ihsan Islamic Services Centre
