Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
And you only threatened the Shaykh. In many matters, the jurists stipulate that the person must be just, but when open sinfulness becomes widespread and prevalent among the people, how do they cope with that?
Answer:
Indeed, the jurists stipulate justice in many matters, but when trials become widespread and prevalent among the people, it is not possible to apply that. As for the judges, they review the cases and rule on them, because this requires the judge’s examination.
