The Ruling on Using a Radar Detector Device

The questioner : Ahmad al-Fayl says: If a person uses a device to detect the traffic devices that measure speed, if a person uses a device to detect the traffic devices that measure speed, in order to avoid excessive speed and the fine associated with it, is there anything required of him?

The Shaykh : Is this a circumvention of the regulations or not? I ask you, what should I say, is it sold or not sold? Is this a circumvention of the regulations or not? Answer.

The questioner : Yes,

The Shaykh : It is as if this is like his saying, as if he and the nation before him were given it, meaning a confirmed matter. In any case, it is not permissible to circumvent the state's regulations, because the state did not establish this except to protect lives and wealth.
