Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, is it permissible for a judge to accept a gift from ordinary people who do not have a case before the judge?
Answer:
No, if it is not his custom to give him gifts, no. As long as he does not give him gifts, it is not permissible for him to accept them once he becomes a judge, even if he has no dispute with him.
