The Ruling on What Is Said About the Ozone Layer
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, what is your view regarding what many people repeat about the ozone layer and the danger it poses to humanity? Is this considered astrology?
Answer:
This is nonsense; it is nonsense for which Allah has not sent down any authority. We do not believe their words in this matter. As for the fact that their manufactured goods, chemicals, and poisons that they have introduced into the air have had an effect on the atmosphere, that is true. Harm has occurred to people because of these industries, inventions, the abundance of smoke, and the abundance of poisons and chemicals. There is no doubt that this is a harm to people; harm has befallen people because of them, because of what they did. Yes. However, the claim that this changes the universe, or changes, for example, the heat of the sun as they say, or changes it, is a lie and nonsense. Yes.
