The ruling on disputing parties resorting to the tribal shaykh

Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. He says: We have here, outside this country, a situation where when two people quarrel over land or a dispute arises, the tribal shaykh intervenes and resolves the dispute by meeting with the disputing parties. Is this resorting to a judgment other than what Allah has revealed?

Answer:
This is a settlement. This is a settlement, resolving the dispute through a reconciliation in which both parties agree. This is from reconciliation. Reconciliation is permissible among Muslims. If this is not by coercion, but rather by mutual consent, then it is a settlement. However, if it is by coercion, one does not coerce except by the Shari'ah ruling; one does not coerce except on the Shari'ah ruling. You should offer them reconciliation; if they accept, praise be to Allah. If they do not accept, it is not permissible for you to coerce them. Coercion is only for the Shari'ah ruling. Yes.
