The ruling on appointing soldiers to the judgment of others
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : Yes. Was the appointment of Sa'd ibn Mu'adh to judge the Banu Qurayzah specific to the time of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), or is it valid for those who came after him? I mean, for one of the soldiers.
The Shaykh : Yes, with the permission of the commander, with the permission of the commander, there is no harm.
The questioner : Even if he does not know what will happen from him.
The Shaykh : As long as he is trustworthy, there is no harm in saying, "I appoint you to the judgment of so-and-so ibn so-and-so." It is clear that Sa'd ibn Mu'adh was chosen for the Banu Qurayzah because he was their ally; this is the reason they chose him. Is there a problem with this?
