Seeking Judgment from Tribal Chiefs
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. A questioner says: Some problems arise among us, and the disputing parties go to the judgment of the tribal chiefs, who rule by other than the ruling of Allah. What is the validity of their judgment, and is it permissible to seek judgment from them?
Answer:
This is invalid, and this is the ruling of the pre-Islamic age of ignorance, the ruling of the taghut. It is not permissible to seek judgment from other than the pure Shari'ah.
