Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : Are those who do not judge by the Qur'an and the Sunnah, but judge by French or English laws, considered [to be in a specific state], O Shaykh?
The Shaykh : This requires consideration; it requires looking into what the reason was that led them to this? Did someone deceive them, one who claims knowledge, and say: "This does not contradict the Shari'ah," or what? So the ruling in this matter cannot be given except for each specific case individually.
The questioner : Some Islamic groups [refer to] this hadith, O Shaykh.
The Shaykh : Give it to him, give it to him.
