Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Some people, may Allah reward you, have a doubt. They say that they violate the systems and laws that organize people's lives, such as traffic and others, claiming that they are not based on the Shari'ah and have no evidence for them.
Answer:
My brother, there are systems for the benefit of people. And Allah (Exalted and Majestic is He) says:[An-Nisa 4:59]. So if the one in authority establishes a system for traffic or a system for the benefit of people, it is obligatory to work by it and follow it. Yes, Allah says there is no evidence for it; we say there is evidence for it. Allah (Exalted and Majestic is He) says: [An-Nisa 4:59]. And the system established by the one in authority, if it does not contain disobedience, we follow it as obedience to the one in authority. Yes.
