Halachic segment asks whether football can be played on Shabbat

A daily halacha feature led by Rabbi Yaakov Sinai turns to a summer Shabbat question: whether football and other games are considered muktzeh on Shabbat, and whether playing is permitted on grass.

The segment is presented as part of his regular instructional series, described as a deep halachic study of current issues. This installment focuses on the long summer Sabbaths and on practical questions around play and leisure.

The headline frames the discussion around World Cup games and asks directly, in Hebrew, whether football may be played on Shabbat. The preview also highlights a related issue, whether games are allowed in a place with grass.

The article does not provide the halachic conclusion in text, and instead invites viewers to watch the halacha corner for the full explanation.
