The questioner: Peace be upon you.
The Shaykh : And upon you be peace, and the mercy of Allah and His blessings.
The questioner : Your Eminence, the Shaykh, what is the ruling on studying law, specifically Shariah advocacy?
The Shaykh : What Allah willed, what Allah willed. Where is Shariah advocacy?
The questioner : I mean in cases of divorce or marriage; they call it a Shariah lawyer.
The Shaykh : And what is the purpose of studying law that you are asking about?
The questioner : For work, of course.
The Shaykh: Yes.
The questioner : For work.
The Shaykh : Work for free, or for the sake of Allah?
The questioner : How do you mean for the sake of Allah?
The Shaykh : By Allah, I do not know. If I asked you whether it is for a job and money, or for the sake of Allah, would you say, "How do you mean for the sake of Allah?"
The questioner : It is natural. Any intention is for the sake of Allah (Mighty and Majestic).
The Shaykh : Any intention. I mean, if a person works in a bank, it would be for the sake of Allah.
The questioner : Unless the work is permissible.
The Shaykh : So, is your work permissible? To study law? Do you believe that the law is in accordance with the Shari'ah?
The questioner : That is not what I am asking you.
The Shaykh : I have answered you in my way.
The questioner : May Allah reward you with good.
The Shaykh : And beware of that.
