Is yoga considered haram? If so, why?
-
Yoga is a practice that originated in ancient India and has physical, mental, and spiritual components. In Islam, the permissibility of practicing yoga can vary depending on the interpretation of Islamic teachings by different scholars and schools of thought.
Some Islamic scholars view yoga as permissible as long as it does not involve any elements that are incompatible with Islamic beliefs and practices, such as chanting mantras or engaging in spiritual practices that conflict with Islamic teachings.
