Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. This questioner says, from outside this country, that in his country they do not rule by the Shari'ah, but rather by man-made laws, unlike this blessed, good country. He asks: What is our obligation as students of knowledge if we go there regarding these man-made laws?
Answer:
Call people to Allah and explain things to them, so that perhaps Allah may benefit through you, especially the rulers. Go to them and advise them, so that perhaps Allah may guide them. For if Allah guides a ruler, He guides many people through his hands. Yes.
