Question:
May Allah reward you, Your Eminence, father. The questioner asks: Is it a condition for the judge to be a Qurayshi?
Answer:
The ruler, the one in authority, the sultan, if the candidates are equal in capability when it comes to appointment, then he chooses the Qurayshi. But if the people have an imam, even if he is not a Qurayshi, or if no Qurayshi is found, or if there is a Qurayshi but he is not fit for authority, then they choose the best for Islam and the Muslims. Yes.
