Question:

Is playing badminton haram?

Answer:

All perfect praise be to Allaah, The Lord of the Worlds. I testify that there is none worthy of worship except Allaah, and that Muhammad  sallallaahu  `alayhi  wa  sallam ( may  Allaah exalt his mention ) is His Slave and Messenger.

In general, sports are permissible if they abide by Islamic  guidelines and do not involve any religious violations as we have previously clarified in Fatwa 83673.

Allaah Knows best.
