Is teaching the Big Bang theory forbidden (haram), especially with the belief that it contradicts the Qur'anic verse: "Indeed, your Lord is Allah, who created the heavens and the earth in six days and then established Himself above the Throne. He covers the night with the day, [another night] pursuing it rapidly; and [He created] the sun, the moon, and the stars, subjected by His command. Unquestionably, His is the creation and the command; blessed is Allah, Lord of the worlds" (Al-A'raf 54)?
It appears there is no harm in teaching this theory if it is not confirmed to contradict the texts of revelation. The words of the scholars regarding it have been mentioned in previous fatwas.
