Women's participation in sport, which is an important part of human life, has been the subject of debate for centuries. In Islamic countries, the religious view of society influences women's participation in sport in different ways. In some Islamic countries today, women's participation in sport is encouraged, while in others it is restricted by various norms. Sports education and sports policies play an important role in attracting women to sports in Islamic countries. As part of our research, we examined the historical perspective of women's participation in sports in Islamic countries, the current status of women's sports, the role of Islamic faith in shaping women's participation in sports, and the potential of women's sports as a means of empowerment and social change. To summarise, Islam does not prohibit women's participation in sports, but only encourages them to participate in sports by covering themselves according to the religion and rules.
