In a groundbreaking fatwa, religious scholars have declared aerial firing, kite flying, and performing wheelies (one-wheeling) as un-Islamic, emphasizing that any action endangering human life is strictly prohibited in Islam.
The scholars highlighted Islam’s unwavering commitment to the preservation of human life. Activities like kite flying and wheelies, which are often associated with significant risks and accidents, have been likened to acts of self-harm.
Aerial firing, frequently resulting in injuries or fatalities, was also explicitly condemned. The fatwa stressed that such actions are not only reckless but also morally and religiously impermissible.
“Any act that poses a threat to human life is strictly forbidden in Islamic teachings,” the statement reiterated, urging people to avoid engaging in activities that endanger themselves or others. The scholars likened these practices to forms of suicide, which Islam categorically prohibits, underscoring the faith’s strong emphasis on safeguarding human life.
The fatwa serves as a reminder for individuals to adopt responsible behavior and prioritize safety in accordance with Islamic principles.
