The Ruling on Taking Compensation from Man-Made Laws
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
If the court in my country rules in my favor for compensation from a person who wrongfully attacked me, is it permissible for me to take this amount, given that the laws are man-made?
Answer:
If this is your right, take it, even if the laws are man-made. If the law that ruled on it is a law, as long as it is your right, take it. But if it is not your right, it is forbidden, so do not take it. Yes.
