The Ruling on Reconciliation by the Ruling of the Tribal Shaykh and Its Relation to Adjudicating by Other Than Allah
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you, Honorable Shaykh. Some tribes and clans do not go to the courts when there is a dispute; rather, they reach an agreement among themselves with the approval of the tribal shaykh, and they call it a reconciliation. Is this adjudicating by other than Allah?
Answer:
If people are forced into reconciliation, it is adjudicating by other than the Book of Allah. But if the reconciliation is voluntary and by mutual consent, there is no harm. However, if the reconciliation is forced and compulsory, that is adjudicating by other than what Allah has revealed. Yes.
