Muslim leaders issue a fatwa against anyone living on MARS as there is ‘no righteous reason’ to be there
- Clerics in the UAE have deemed a colony on Mars as being un-Islamic
- They argue that trying to live there would be akin to committing suicide
- Killing oneself is strictly forbidden in Islam, according to the Quran
- The ruling came after Mars One announced a 2025 mission to Mars
- So far around 500 Saudis and Arabs have volunteered to take part in it
A Fatwa has been issued against living on Mars by clerics who say that trying to live there would be un-Islamic.
The fatwa – or ruling – was issued by the General Authority of Islamic Affairs and Endowment (GAIAE) in the UAE after the Mars One organisation announced that it would try and establish a permanent human settlement on Mars.
The GAIAE has issued around two million Fatwas through its Official Fawa Centre since its inception in 2008.
