The questioner : Is it permissible to resort to these courts if I have a case and I am wronged in a case? Is it permissible for us to go to these man-made courts? Is this permissible, O Shaykh?
The Shaykh : It is not permissible except for one who is compelled, and he should only seek what the Shari'ah has permitted him. It is not permissible to resort to them for what is known from what I mentioned, except for one who is compelled and who does not seek to exploit man-made laws to reach something to which he has no right.
