Question:
Your Eminence, father, the questioner says: What is your advice to the shaykhs of the tribes who judge between people without knowledge?
Answer:
We have answered this before. We said that this is not permissible. It is not permissible to judge between people without knowledge, but rather by the customs of the tribes and the customs of the pre-Islamic age of ignorance. This is not permissible. And praise be to Allah, the state has provided courts in the countries. And today, praise be to Allah, cars and fast communications do not involve hardship. Yes.
