Riding on Rollercoasters Fatwa No: 534910
- Fatwa Date:21-7-2026
Is it permissible to ride rollercoasters in Islam? They aren't as risky as many people think. In almost all cases, riders are safe.
All perfect praise be to Allah, The Lord of the Worlds. I testify that there is none worthy of worship except Allah, and that Muhammad is His slave and Messenger.
There is no harm in riding such rollercoasters, provided that the rollercoaster itself is safe and the rider takes all necessary precautionary measures to protect themselves. Likewise, there must be no medical impediment – such as an illness or condition – that would cause the ride to harm the rider.
Allah knows best
