Question:
May Allah reward you, Your Eminence, father. The questioner says: I am a student in the College of Sharia, and I have been nominated for the judiciary, but I am not among the people of independent legal reasoning. What is your advice to me?
Answer:
I have heard that it is not a condition that one be among the people of absolute independent legal reasoning; rather, it is sufficient that he knows the stronger opinions and the opinions based on evidence. This is easy, praise be to Allah. This is easy, and you are a graduate of the College of Sharia. Yes, and what will you do if you become a graduate of the College of Sharia? You are going, you are qualified now. So seek help from Allah and rely upon Allah, and Allah will help you. Yes.
