Studying International Law to Resolve the Issues of Muslims
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
This questioner says: What is the ruling on studying international law, knowing that the purpose of studying it is to resolve the issues of Muslims who are in some non-Islamic countries, as is the case with one of our brothers who was detained in the West? Allah is the Greatest.
Answer:
First, study the religious knowledge, study the religious knowledge, study the Shari'ah. If you study it and specialize in it, there is no harm in you studying law in order to defend the Muslims, not in order to make it your profession or to get a job with it, as you claimed you are defending the Muslims, but only after studying the Shari'ah first. As for taking up law from the start, it is not permissible. Yes.
The presenter:
May Allah bless you.
