We consider the nonlocal H\'{e}non-Gelfand-Liouville problem $$ (-\Delta)^s u = |x|^a e^u\quad\mathrm{in}\quad \mathbb R^n, $$ for every $s\in(0,1)$, $a>0$ and $n>2s$. We prove a monotonicity formula for solutions of the above equation using rescaling arguments. We apply this formula together with blow-down analysis arguments and technical integral estimates to establish non-existence of finite Morse index solutions when $$\dfrac{\Gamma(\frac n2)\Gamma(s)}{\Gamma(\frac{n-2s}{2})}\left(s+\frac a2\right)> \dfrac{\Gamma^2(\frac{n+2s}{4})}{\Gamma^2(\frac{n-2s}{4})}.$$
