Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The questioner says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, does the statement of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him)Jami` at-Tirmidhi 1322 contain a deterrent against taking on the role of judge?
Answer:
No, judging is necessary. The Messenger did not deter people from judging. But this means it is an exhortation, an exhortation to judge by the Shari'ah, and that a person should not be judged by an ignorant person, or that a scholar should not judge by other than the truth. This is what is in the Fire. This means it is an exhortation to justice, and that one should not judge except with knowledge. This is its meaning. Yes.
