Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: We heard that Shaykh Muhammad ibn Ibrahim (may Allah have mercy on him) appointed Shaykh 'Abd al-'Aziz ibn Baz as a judge in one of the regions, but he said that when he took up the post in that region, he later excused himself. Do we have this story?
Answer:
I know this story. Shaykh 'Abd al-'Aziz ibn Baz was appointed as a judge while he was young, in the year 1358 AH, 1358 or 1359. He was appointed as a judge in al-Kharj, and he continued in the judiciary until they brought him to teach at the Institute of Islamic Sciences in Riyadh when it opened. They brought him from the judiciary to teaching at the Institute of Islamic Sciences in Riyadh in the year 1371 AH. Then he was at the College of Sharia, and I studied under him at the College of Sharia. Then he was transferred to the administration of the Islamic University on behalf of Shaykh Muhammad ibn Ibrahim.
