Attitude to Death and Its Simile to Football


Shaykh 'Abdul-Muhsin al-Abbaad al-Badr (may Allaah Preserve him) was asked after explaining the Ahaadeeth which describe ripping ones clothes out of wailing for the deceased as being a major sin:
Questioner: we play sports and out clothes get torn (or taking clothes off in celebration etc.). Does this carry the same ruling? 
He answered: That is another form of calamity. There is a prohibition connected to the calamity of death and the question is connected to the calamity of death to the heart (i.e. sports lead to death of the heart)
[Sharh Sunnan Ibn Maajah, Kitaab al-Janaa'iz (115/27mins)]
