The usul scholars in their books

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : They mention in the books of usul al-fiqh that Allah is the Judge and there is no judge other than Him. Is it correct to apply this term to Allah (Glorified and Exalted is He), or is it a matter of reporting, like when we say "Allah exists" and "Allah is such and such"?

The Shaykh : It is so, it is a matter of reporting, yes.
One of the attendees: What is the criterion in the matter of reporting?

The Shaykh : Do not commit yourself to saying:
Allah is a judge الله حاكم
, calling Him by this name... but this is a meaning you take from the verse:
And He is the best of judges." وَهُوَ خَيْرُ الْحَاكِمِينَ
[Al-A'raf 7:87]
, or something similar to that. This is the criterion.
