Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, what is the criterion for dire necessity in resorting to non-Shari'ah courts?

Answer:
There is no dire necessity for resorting to anything other than the Shari'ah, and this is not permissible for a Muslim. It is not permissible for a Muslim to resort to the taghut (tyrants) and say, "I am compelled." He is not compelled. This is not permissible. Yes.
