The country’s religious scholars have issued a fatwa declaring that three life-threatening activities – riding on a wheel, flying kites and aerial shooting – are un-Islamic, citing the sanctity of human life as paramount .
The fatwa states that any act that endangers life is contrary to Islamic teachings, which prioritize the protection of human lives.
Researchers described these activities as very dangerous and equated them to acts of self-harm.
Faisal Kamran of DIG Operations highlighted deaths linked to these practices, emphasizing that Islam prohibits actions leading to self-destruction.
According to police records, 151 people were arrested for one-wheeler driving and 150 cases registered for kite flying in just 20 days.
In addition, 118 offenders involved in aerial shootings were imprisoned.
Police are committed to continuing their strict measures to combat these illegal and potentially deadly activities. Parents have been urged to discourage their children from indulging in such harmful behavior.
Kite flying and aerial shooting, in particular, have caused many injuries and deaths due to sharp kite strings and stray bullets.
Authorities and religious leaders called for community cooperation to defend public safety and Islamic values.
