Is there evidence in this hadith that the judge's ruling is not binding?

The questioner : The Shaykh, may Allah reward you, is there evidence in this hadith that the judge's ruling is not binding?

The Shaykh : It is perhaps a fatwa, or perhaps a request for a ruling from Dawud. And if his statement is: , it is possible that he issued a ruling as a fatwa. Otherwise, the Shari'ah in our view is that when the ruler rules, his ruling is carried out. It cannot be annulled unless it contradicts a definitive text from the Book and the Sunnah or scholarly consensus. If it contradicts a definitive text from the Book, the Sunnah, or consensus, then it is annulled.

The questioner : I mean, if we say this is a judgment, does it become specific to a Shari'ah before ours?

The Shaykh : Yes.
