The Ruling on Studying Law in Law Colleges
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, this questioner asks: What is the ruling on studying law in law colleges, and does that count as studying the law of taghut?
Answer:
Yes, it is obligatory for the Muslim to study the Shari'ah. As for law, this is a law of disbelief that contradicts the Shari'ah, so a person should not engage in it. He should not engage in it unless he is well-versed in the Shari'ah and knowledgeable of its rulings, and he looks at the law only in order to refute it and respond to it in order to refute it and respond to it, not in order to use it or take a job working according to the law. This is not permissible. But if he is well-versed in the sciences of the Shari'ah, and he wants to look at the systems that contradict it in order to refute them, demonstrate their invalidity, and fight them, then there is no harm in that. Yes.
The presenter:
May Allah reward you
