Question:
May Allah reward you. Honorable Shaykh, this questioner says: In our lands, they rule by other than what Allah has revealed. So what is the ruling if a person needs to resort to those courts? And what is the ruling for one who works in the appropriate professions, such as practicing law, or teaching this man-made law, or enrolling in the colleges that graduate lawyers and judges who work with this man-made law?

Answer:
This is among the harms of residing in the lands of the disbelievers. You take on their ruling, submit to their systems, and resort to their courts. Therefore, migration is obligatory for the Muslim, so he does not reside there. And if he is compelled to reside there, he does not resort to the taghut; he does not resort to the taghut. Yes.
