Categories of those who judge by other than what Allah has revealed.

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The Shaykh : The first: The one who judges by other than what Allah has revealed, believing that it is better than Allah’s ruling or equal to it, is a disbeliever. Why? Because he has lied about the saying of Allah the Exalted:
But who is better than Allah in judgement for a people who are certain [in faith]. ومن أحسن من الله حكما لقوم يوقنون
[Al-Ma'idah 5:50]
and His saying:
Is not Allah the most just of judges? أليس الله بأحكم الحاكمين
[At-Tin 95:8]
.
The second: The one who replaces Allah’s religion with a man-made law, meaning he takes the man-made law in place of Allah’s religion and imposes it, compelling people to judge by it and follow it, is also a disbeliever.
