New fatwa: Islam prohibits travel to Mars, says it is suicidal

Share:

mars planetTravelling to Mars is prohibited in Islam!

That’s exactly what a new fatwa issued by a fatwa committee under the United Arab Emirates’ General Authority of Islamic Affairs and Endowment says.

The fatwa also prohibits the promotion of a one-way trip to the Red Planet.

While issuing the fatwa, the committee, according to the Khaleej Times, said, “Such a one-way journey poses a real risk to life, and that can never be justified in Islam. There is a possibility that an individual who travels to planet Mars may not be able to remain alive there, and is more vulnerable to death.”

The committee further said that whoever opted for this “hazardous trip” was likely to perish for no “righteous reason”, and thus will be liable to punishment “similar to that of suicide in the Hereafter”.

Giving the reason for it, Professor Dr Farooq Hamada, who heads the committee, said, “Protecting life against all possible dangers and keeping it safe is an issue agreed upon by all religions and is clearly stipulated in verse 4/29 of the Holy Quran: Do not kill yourselves or one another. Indeed, Allah is to you ever Merciful.”

Suicide is forbidden in Islam. Supporting the ruling with scriptures, Dr Shaikh Mohammed Al Ashmaway said, “Almighty Allah said in verse 2/195 in the Holy Quran: Do not throw yourselves with your own hands into destruction.”

    It’s not ok to die for the sake of something as big as this, yes I know a little crazy, but it’s ok to die while blowing yourself up and taking children with you. WOW

    What do you have to say to all your jihadist mates? They are blowing themslves up everyday…. I guess it alright because the virgins are waiting for them. Why haven’t all the musilim stayed in their country of origin there is a risk the plane they are on might crash while travelling to another country. You people are so full of it; you try to put Islam pedestal to show how great it is but at the end of the day you can’t hide what it really is. Its a ‘religion’ for people who suffer from schizophrenia/bipolar and are manic. Can anyone out the there truly say they have met a muslim who is 100% right in the head; they are bunch of pyschos that need to be medicated.

    What an idiotic thing to say! Going to Mars is a one way trip and not a suicidal trip; the martians 🙂 may live longer than people on this planet, and definitely longer than this idiot! Does he even know it’s an expedition to settle on Mars. If only Mohammed knew, what some of these ignorant people are preaching in his name.

    THESE IDIOTS HAVE THE NERVE TO FORBID SOMEONE FROM TRAVELING TO MARS BECAUSE OF THE RISK OF LOOSING LIFE,YET THEY DO NOT HAVE THE NERVE TO FORBID VIRGIN SEEKERS FROM STRAPPING A BOMB ON THEIR BODIES AND BLOWING THEMSELVES AMONG INNOCENT PEOPLE ,INCLUDING ORPHANS. WORSE IS THAT THEY DO SO ON BEHALF OF ISLAM AND GOD.GOD HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH THESE PEOPLE RXCEPT TO BURN THEM IN AN VIRGIN HELL OF AN ETERNAL FIRE.

      I am not worried…. because that isn’t what it is all about, it is their way of covering their scientific retardness, failures and deficiencies. They love being dependent and fear challenging themselves for a better future and odyssey, they are incapable of thinking outside the box, I don’t believe they will get there anytime soon, at least not in this century or the next. First they need to get out of the 6th century instead of standing still while the rest of the world is marching ahead. On the other hand, they love the new fascinating technology and consume it like hungry lions.

    Whoever posts negatively about this fatwa, I am suprised you are not the first volunteers offering to join the mars program.
    I mean think about it. It would be a muslim free zone.

      Actually, if they can get past NASA’s politics, there IS a ‘return-ticket’ plan for a ‘direct flight’ … Max time on a Mars Vacation would be 1.5 years. The equipment is ready now and well-thought out. Only needs aging Congress to say OK. NATO plan is already ‘old’.

        Politics is the correct word.
        they spend trillions of dollars on something which isnt even guaranteed while the half the world suffers poverty.
        Spending that much on knowledge which does not benifit humanity and could probably kill 20000 volunteers is a crime.

            Well, Reasonable, Like all ancient explorers we take a chance now and then if we get bored and want to explore something new. Some were successful in getting across the Atlantic, and others sank or froze to death. The ones who now claim Muslims made that journey before Vikings or anyone else wouldn’t have liked that Fathead Fatwa, I’m sure. The successful lived and the unsuccessful died. That’s ‘life’. And I’m sure the ones who died didn’t intend to, so you can’t call it suicide no matter what an individual opinion is. People ‘sign on’ for the adventure. HUMANS.
            As for your ‘today’ – which I could agree sure has become more screwed up than 1970, it seems – and being one of those ‘early tekkies’ who wanted to ‘communicate’ with people over distance without paying the phone companies exorbitant rates for long distance – I’m not sure how we could have held the ‘teck’ inside the borders and refused to allow it into the Muddled Middle East – although, in retrospect, we could have tried harder, I suppose. Sorry.
            Nevertheless, it was the ones doing the ‘quest for the stars’ that helped boost the small molecular adjustments us tekkies used to speed my first 300-baud modem (needing a wired phone-line to dial on with 17K of text requiring an hour to transfer from a BB in Florida) into the little marvel in my hand that I hate to text on because my eyes are going, but which can play Olympic Scenes from Soggy warm Russia for the flat rate of ‘connection’.
            I assure you, my friend, that had I known back then what I know now – that the ‘Middle East Sensitivities’ cannot handle the tech at all, and moreover that Allah had said ‘drums only allowed’ – I would have lobbied my local elected official to create an equal and secular law to keep all the ‘tech’ outside those raging deserts. Would have saved me from THIS for sure … but here maybe we CAN blame those Israelis for all their spying too. 😉

            Blogging in here is SO MUCH BETTER than a silly limited Tweet. I don’t know why we thought an iPhone should be used for texting at all. It’s a computer that just happens to make phone calls and send text, yes, but REALLY, having a portable TV to see Olympic Skiiers in ‘real-time’ is SO much more useful – AND when the first Martians land, we’ll be able to watch them dragging themselves over those deserts ‘as it happens’ – and I’ll be able to piss them off by sending a live Skype shot of naked me on a beach comfortably lifting a glass of ‘the Glen’, on the blue planet they left behind. Thumbs UP. :-))

            Just to note ONE something really ‘useful’ from research to get into ‘space’ and away from the overcrowding vertical populations – especially if you want to vacation in Lebanon which can’t seem to discover drinkable water in taps.
            There is a hand-held gravity-fed little device with a particular membrane inside, and if you pour even Lebanon’s water through it (excluding a few of the smaller-molecule chemicals) all the disease bugs are magically trapped and you won’t need to pay for bottled water. $80 and a million gallons guaranteed.
            How’s THAT for ‘success’. :-))
