The questioner : Is it a religious innovation to say that it is forbidden for a judge to judge if he is exposed to hunger and thirst?
The Shaykh : Yes.
The questioner : Does it indicate that it is forbidden for a judge to judge if he is exposed to hunger, thirst, and severe heat, such that it is forbidden for him to fast if he knows that he will be hungry during the day, and so on?
The Shaykh : Yes, whatever prevents the right from being established is forbidden. As for the issue of heat, it is not in his control; it is not in his control. What is in his control is hunger and thirst. So we say: it is obligatory for you, if you are one who drinks a lot of water and is often thirsty, to carry a jar of water with you so that whenever you are thirsty, you can drink. Yes!
