The Ruling of the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) for the Jews

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, did the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) rule for the Jews and Judaism by the ruling of the Torah or by the ruling of the Qur'an?

Answer:
It appears, and Allah knows best, that it is the ruling of the Qur'an, because they are dhimmis (protected non-Muslims) who have committed to the ruling of Islam, and they are among the subjects of the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him), so the ruling of the Qur'an is applied to them:
And judge, [O Muhammad], between them by what Allah has revealedوَأَنِ احْكُم بَيْنَهُم بِمَا أَنزَلَ اللَّهُ
[Al-Ma'idah 5:49]
and it is the Qur'an. Yes. No, that is not what appears; rather, the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) asked for the Torah in order to establish the argument against them and to expose their lies, to expose their lies regarding what they said about it darkening his face and being carried by him, and so on. He (peace and blessings be upon him) wanted to expose them and clarify their lies against the Book of Allah or the Torah. Yes.
