Question:
We have tribal sheikhs who rule by other than what Allah has revealed, and they are common people who neither read nor write. Are these people tyrants?
Answer:
Go to the Department of Ifta and take the written letters regarding the ruling on tribal customs and the habits of the tribes. They contain advice and clarification. Take them and read them to the sheikhs, perhaps Allah will guide them in that. Yes.
