Does one who objects to the ruling of the Shari'ah courts and requests recourse to human rights have rejected the Shari'ah?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you. This questioner asks: What is the ruling on objecting to the judges' rulings and requesting recourse to human rights, and does this amount to rejecting the Shari'ah?

Answer:
Yes. The one who seeks judgment by the law or by human rights and objects to the ruling of the Shari'ah courts has a share of the evil and the warning
Have you not seen those who claim to have believed in what was revealed to you, [O Muhammad], and what was revealed before you? They wish to refer legislation to Taghut, while they were commanded to reject itأَلَمْ تَرَ إِلَى الَّذِينَ يَزْعُمُونَ أَنَّهُمْ آمَنُوا بِمَا أُنزِلَ إِلَيْكَ وَمَا أُنزِلَ مِن قَبْلِكَ يُرِيدُونَ أَن يَتَحَاكَمُوا إِلَى الطَّاغُوتِ وَقَدْ أُمِرُوا أَن يَكْفُرُوا بِهِ
[An-Nisa 4:60]
And in the other verse
And when they are called to [the words of] Allah and His Messenger to judge between them, at once a party of them turns aside [in refusal].وَإِذَا دُعُوا إِلَى اللَّهِ وَرَسُولِهِ لِيَحْكُمَ بَيْنَهُمْ إِذَا فَرِيقٌ مِّنْهُم مُّعْرِضُونَ
[An-Nur 24:48]
It is not permissible to replace the Shari'ah ruling issued by the courts with the ruling of human rights or the laws. Yes.
