According to Khaleejtimes.com it said: 'Such a one-way harass poses a real taunt to life, and that can never be on the right side in Islam. Contemporary is a probability that an person concerned who appointments to planet Mars may not be controlling to point of view vivacious portray, and is in excess of weak to death.'

Emphatically, Allah is to you ever Benevolent.'
In spite of everything, Mars One bristly out that the Quran encourages scouting.
In a in print riposte to the Fatwa it colored a verse that says along with in the midst of His Secret code is the imagined thing of the make public and the earth, and the variations in your languages and your colors: verily in that are Secret code for dwell in who know (Quran 30: 22)'.

'If we may be so bold: the GAIAE have to not argue the taunt as they check it today. The GAIAE have to estimate the hunt taunt for humans as if an unmanned fit for human habitation outpost is crying out and waiting on Mars.'
It added: 'Mars One politely wants GAIAE to slacken the Fatwa and make the longest Rihla, or harass, of all time open for Muslims, too. They can be the apex Muslims to vinyl the signs of God's imagined thing in fantasy, drawing upon the rich culture of travel and scouting of primitive Islam.
'The lives and harass of the apex Mars settlers donate create us in excess of about our place in the breathing space than any other humans back us. As Ibn Battuta also wrote: "Travelling - it plants you tongue-tied, with turns you popular a raconteur."'
The GAIAE has issued approaching two million Fatwas through its Official Fatwa Centre past its birth in 2008.
