Is it permissible for two Muslims who are in dispute to refer their case to one of the courts of the disbelievers in order for one of the litigants to recover his right, which he has no means of obtaining except through this method?

The questioner : If two people are in dispute, is it permissible for one of them to bring the case to one of the courts of the disbelievers in order to take his right, which he cannot take except by that means?

The Shaykh : If he believes that the ruling of the court to which he brings the case in this matter does not contradict the Shari'ah, then it is permissible for him to do so; otherwise, it is not permissible.
