Summary
The fatwa states that the stronger opinion is that Prophet Adam AS lived for 1000 years. Another opinion gives his age as 960 years, but the fatwa gives preference to the 1000-year view. This choice rests on several works of exegesis and history, including the tafsir of al-Tabari, al-Razi and Ibn Kathir, Kanz al-Ummal and al-Bidayah wa al-Nihayah.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
