"If a woman watches a football matches she indirectly sees the 'awrah' of the players", daud Che Ngah told Malay news portal Sinar Harian online. "Watching the 'awrah' until it causes sexual excitement can be categorised as 'zina' of the eye. preacher added. "Awrah, refers to the "Intimate body parts" that Muslim must cover; exposing these is considered sinful. For Muslim men their 'awrah' is the area between the navel and the knee. Modern footballers usually wear the shorts that end above the knee.
