Question:
Your Eminence, the questioner says: Is one who judges by the law of Allah, but for some people and not for others, considered to be among those who resort to the judgment of taghut?
Answer:
How does he judge for some people and not for others? This is not permissible. He must judge by the law of Allah,[Al-Ma'idah 5:49], [Al-Ma'idah 5:49]. If he judges between every person based on what they want, and for the Muslim, because he wants Islam, he rules for him with Islam, and for the disbeliever, because he wants disbelief, he rules for him with disbelief—this, may Allah protect us from it, is one who does not believe in Allah; he only wants to please people. Yes.

And judge, [O Muhammad], between them by what Allah has revealed and do not follow their inclinations
وَأَنِ احْكُم بَيْنَهُم بِمَا أَنزَلَ اللَّهُ وَلَا تَتَّبِعْ أَهْوَاءَهُمْbeware of them, lest they tempt you away from some of what Allah has
وَاحْذَرْهُمْ أَن يَفْتِنُوكَ عَن بَعْضِ مَا أَنزَلَ اللَّهُ
