    A Fatwa, or official ruling, has been issued by the General Authority of Islamic Affairs and Endowment (GAIAE), led by Dr. Farooq Hamada, in the United Arab Emirates[1] forbidding Muslims from traveling to Mars. The ruling stated:
    "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."

    They deem that such a move is so dangerous as to be essentially suicidal (or in the words of those issuing the fatwa, poses "a real risk to life" for "no righteous reason") and killing oneself is not permitted by Islam and those who take such a trip would therefore be liable to a "punishment similar to that of suicide in the Hereafter."

    Apparently this isn't the only fatwa issued against Muslims going to Mars. Last year Sheikh Ali al Hemki, a member of Saudi Arabia's board of religious scholars issued a similar ruling stating that such a move does not conform to "responsible Muslim" practices and "will lead to the destruction of those who try."
