Edict includes
- Do not follow the heretics and play with 11 people. Instead, add to this number or decrease it
- Do not play in t-shirts and shorts, they are not Muslim, but heretical Western clothing
- Do not appoint someon to follow you called a "referee" as his presence would be in imitation of the heretics, Jews and Christians
- You should use two posts instead of three pieces of wood or steel that you erect in order to put the ball between them, meaning that you should remove the crossbar in order not to imitate the heretics and in order to be entirely distinct from the soccer system's despotic international rules
