The ruling on one who contradicts the evidence for the sake of his school of jurisprudence

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. If it becomes clear to a person that there is evidence, but he contradicts it in favor of the opinion of his school of jurisprudence, does this person fall under the shirk (associating partners with Allah) of obedience that you mentioned a moment ago, which has three categories?

Answer:
If he took the opinion of the jurist while knowing that it contradicts the evidence, but he took it because it agrees with his desire or his lust or his wish, this is a major one of the great sins.
It is minor shirk (associating partners with Allah). As for if he knows that it contradicts the evidence and he agrees to this and takes it while knowing that it is contrary to the evidence, and he considers this thing permissible, considering the contradiction of the evidence permissible, then this is minor shirk. If he considers the contradiction of the evidence permissible, then this is minor shirk. As for if he took it and did not consider it permissible, but took it because it agrees with him and agrees with his desire, and he believes that this thing is not permissible, then this is something like kufr (disbelief), yes.
