Skydiving can be helpful for training in wars, if someone does it and knows how to use it properly; say if there is a war and it needs people experienced with skydiving that's when it comes in play.
Makes one braver. Fear of heights is amongst the most common fears. If one gets out of their comfort zone and tries out activities that make them nervous they'd actually be confident and feel good about themselves. It may also help getting rid of other fears such as fear of the dark, fear of public speaking etc. It's usually something you do once in a lifetime but stays with you forever. Far better than going to the cinema, arcade, bowling, video games, go karting, eating out or any of these ded things kids do these days
@@maazmustafa2322 That is absolutely not the case. There is a significant difference between overcoming a fear and recklessly confronting a phobia. Skydiving, as an extreme measure, might temporarily seem empowering, but for individuals with a true phobia of heights, it can lead to severe consequences such as fainting, panic attacks, or even strokes, potentially exacerbating the trauma instead of alleviating it. For those with a general fear of heights rather than a phobia, gradual exposure and structured methods are far more effective and sustainable than a one-off thrill. While adventurous activities like skydiving may seem memorable, equating them with personal growth or bravery oversimplifies the complex psychological process of overcoming fears. A single, extreme experience is unlikely to address deeply rooted fears and may even overshadow other fulfilling and meaningful ways to build confidence, such as public speaking or pursuing creative endeavors.
Generally Hanbali, but the Sheikh is Salafi so he'll answer based on whatever fatwa has strongest hadith based evidence rather than a specific school's legal principles.
Bungee jumping has less of a fatality rate than driving a car. And no I'm not even talking about reckless driving. You're actually at a greater risk of dying by just sitting around and getting bit by a mosquito than you would when bungee jumping Edit: some people replying to me are really slow in processing what I've said. Ofc a car is a necessity and these activities arent. But my point isn't even about what is & what's not. It was rather about the safety rates of both. If bungee is unsafe might as well not do camping, hiking etc. Just not do pretty much any outdoor activity for fun. Coz camping in the desert or the woods means you can be attacked by animals such as scorpions or bears, or even people who could rob you or kidnap you or even kill you. In hiking you can slip and fall from a great height which can also be fatal
if the number of people who drove did bungee jumping then im sure that number would be different. 80% of a population drive whilst less than 1% do bungee jumping. so those stats arent fair. similarly, places where there are mosquitoes that bite, almost 100% of the people are exposed to getting bit at some point but how many in that population are doing bungee jumping? not a lot. if everyone that drives or got a lift or bit by a mosquito did bungee jumping im sure the stats would change.
@TH-oo9ww akhi I know the sample size of both situations isn't the same. But millions have done bungee jumping across the world. And we hardly see any accidents. A million is a pretty good sample size to judge an activity It's kinda similar to how people are afraid of flying. Although you're safer sitting in a plane than a car, only thing is when a plane crash happens it makes the news. Similarly a bungee jump accident goes viral over the news and social media too. Car crashes - hardly ever.
Brother, you missed his point Even if 1 million people bungee jumped,1% of people bungee jump and 80% of people drive it's still 80 million people who drive vs 1 million people who bungee jump. The sample size of one million may seem large enough to us but compared to 80 million it's a very significant difference (80 times larger) and not at all comparable. And realistically speaking the people who have bungee jumped is way less than 1% of the human population@maazmustafa2322
@@maazmustafa2322 It's about whether there's benefit to it. Using a car is to get us from point A to B to do whatever we need to do. Bungee on the other hand is to just satisfy the crave for adrenaline with a non-zero probability of danger.
I have to disagree with Shaykh for the very few times; an intention for suicide MUST be present for it to be classed as such regardles of how difficult or risky the activity is. However, these days, zip wires, for example, have safety nets, we dont usually see performers' display etc.
Correct, that being said Allah swt gave us aqal to avoid risks / maintain safety where possible. So driving a motorcycle at 150 mph with your lights off, even if not suicide is stupid and you will be questioned for your wasteful and idiotic decision

@ no I know that. I’m saying that there are people who can justify anything or forbid anything based on whatever opinions or views they may skew the narrative.
@PoddyExp brother, all I’m saying is that people can twist anything to mean something and then attaching it an original source and claim that that’s relevant or that’s what it implies or means. For example, cigarettes (as far as I know) was never explicitly forbidden. Yet we know that it can harm and cause illness and death to many people. Yet I’ve never heard any fatwa to ban them from any Muslim countries. Why aren’t they? This is just one example that can be interpreted or not based on self harm and of others that people ignore. And many could be inversely viewed in the same way. The fact is there are many things that exist today that didn’t a thousand years ago and there’s no clear ruling on any of them. So it’s left up in the air for the various “scholars “ to interpret and analyze and most of the time they disagree.
