The ruling on some people saying: The judge ruled for me with the ruling of Allah

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. Some people say, "The judge ruled for me with the ruling of Allah." Is this wording correct?

Answer:
No, it is not correct. One does not assert that it is the ruling of Allah. The judge is a mujtahid (a scholar qualified to derive rulings); the judge is a mujtahid, and he may make a mistake. So do not say, "This is the ruling of Allah." But say, "This is the ruling of the judge." Yes.
