The reason scholars flee from the judiciary, even though it is the position of the prophets
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. He says: If the judiciary is the position of the prophets and scholars, why do scholars flee from it, both in the past and the present?
Answer:
They seek safety; they want to be safe. They are not to be blamed for this. If he seeks safety, they do not say anything, except if there is no one else. If there is no one else, then it becomes obligatory upon him, and it is not permissible for him to leave the judiciary without people. But if there are many qualified people, it does not become obligatory upon him. Yes.
