Rulings Contrary to the Shari'ah in the Legal Administration
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
There is a department in the government offices of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia called the Legal Administration. This department rules on individuals and employees in government offices with rulings that contradict the Islamic Shari'ah. They claim that the rulings are taken from government regulations, even if they contradict the religion, and they impose them on those who violate the regulations.
The Shaykh:
Is this ruling permissible? If you see something of this imitation, write to us about it, and we will demand its removal. As for the speech that obligates what is not permissible, if you find something, write to us about it and say, "They ruled so-and-so with such-and-such, and they ruled so-and-so with such-and-such," and we will look into the matter with the state, if Allah wills.
The questioner:
It appears continuously, O Shaykh Khudr, by Allah, in these newspapers.
The Shaykh:
If you find it in the land, if you find it in the houses, without exception.
The questioner:
Deception, the veil of deception.
The Shaykh:
It is not a cow; it has a female that fights against reason. But if it wrongs all the people of reason, as it is preserved in the Qur'an, as it is preserved regarding the disease of the messengers. Yes.
