Is there a fatwa that contributes to reducing the harms of pollution, including the use of private cars and what results from them, in light of the imminent disasters threatening humanity?
Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
It is forbidden to pollute the environment and cause corruption on Earth by any means, as Allah Almighty says: "And do not cause corruption on the earth after its reformation." and His saying: "And when he turns away, he strives throughout the land to cause corruption therein and destroy crops and animals. And Allah does not like corruption." This includes the Prophet's (peace be upon him) command to remove harm from the road, and his prohibition of urinating in stagnant water, and of causing harm in general.
