The ruling on one who is ordered to do something that contradicts the Shari'ah
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
A man is given an order by his superior to do something he believes contradicts the Shari'ah. Should he obey it, especially if the order is to leave his job?The Shaykh: To leave his job?The questioner: If he does not carry out—for example—this order, he will be removed from the job he was assigned and given another job. Should he obey and commit this violation, which he believes contradicts the Shari'ah, or does he see it as such?
As for if he is coerced into this, there is no blame on him. The definition of coercion is that if he does not do it, he will be dismissed from his position.
The questioner: He is not dismissed but transferred to another job?The Shaykh: If he is transferred to another permissible job, he must refuse,He says: saying, "This is forbidden and I cannot do it." But let him know that if he does not do it, they will do this thing against his will, and a black mark will remain on his record. They may also harass him with many things. So a person must weigh the benefits and the harms.
