The questioner:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. This questioner is from outside this country. He says: In our country, the judges are women. So if I go to the court, I seek judgment from a female judge. Are her rulings considered valid?

The Shaykh:
Yes, and do not let your right be lost. If you did not lie and did not take the right of another, but rather extracted your own right, then there is no harm. Yes, as long as you did not wrong anyone. Yes.

The questioner:
Honorable Shaykh.

The Shaykh:
And let your right be lost. Yes.
