Re: Muslim men in sports: Dress code.
sadiyah, i am reasonably aware of a dress code being prescribed. however, every single muslim country's soccer team - turkey to saudi arabia - wears clothes that dont fit this. and these are national teams, representing teh country.
the same is true for atheletes - from said aoita(i have personally had the misfortune of seeing his balls on TV) to papoo pehelwan (actual name) - wear clothes that do not conform to the islamic standard.
anyhow, i look forward to your references to fatwas in this regard.
