Question:
May Allah reward you, Your Eminence, father. This questioner asks: Is it permissible to use the term "al-hukm" for one who judges between two groups or between two sects?

Answer:
No, al-hukm belongs to Allah (Glorified and Exalted is He). But if the intention is the one who settles matters between people and judges between them, it may have a basis; it may have a basis.
