Exercising between Asr and Maghrib
Question
What is the ruling regarding exercising between Asr and Maghrib, for example, taking a brisk walk. Some Hakeems advise that Islamically, exercising between Asr and Maghrib holds no health benefits and is futile. Is this correct?
Answer
We do not find any prohibition in walking between Asr and Maghrib from a Shari’ee point of view. We are not aware of the matter from a Hakeem’s point of view.
