I am interested in taking part in Muay thai as I wish to learn how to defend myself, I would not take part in bowing infront of the instructor or any other haram thing. Muay thai allow blows to the head however however participants can wear gloves and pads which can offer protection from strikes and the face is not hit. Is it halal for me to take part in Muay thai?

If you avoid the face and your opponent avoids it as well and there is no harm on you, this is permissible.

If someone for example is doing music and you don’t hate it is this kufr because of the Hadith that you must hate it in your heart otherwise there is no faith? I am worried because I need to love Allah

The pot is gambling! If they all pay for the court, regardless of who wins, this is permissible.

My friends are arranging a tournament in which they’ll collect an entry fee from all the participants. In the end of the tournament they’ll give out a prize money from the amount they had collected as the prize money. Does this come under gambling?
