Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The questioner asks: What is the ruling on one who places food behind him?
Answer:
If he did it intentionally, ruling by other than what Allah has revealed intentionally, that is one thing. But if he exercised independent legal reasoning and made a mistake, and he is one qualified for independent legal reasoning, then no, he is excused for the mistake. However, his ruling is not implemented. But he is excused for the mistake if it was due to independent legal reasoning. As for one who deliberately rules by other than what Allah has revealed, there is no doubt about his status as a taghut; he is a taghut. Yes.
The presenter:
May Allah reward you.
