Answer:
This is what we have stated: it is obligatory to judge by what Allah has revealed in order to deliver rights to their rightful owners. And whoever judges by other than what Allah has revealed, believing that it is better than Allah’s judgment, or that it is equal to Allah’s judgment, is a disbeliever, there is no doubt in his disbelief; he is an apostate from the religion of Islam.
