Issues of disputes and conflicts are within the jurisdiction of the judiciary, not the issuance of fatwas

The first message in this episode came from Ali Ahmad from al-Kharj, who works in the military factories. He says in his message: I am married to a woman from Jeddah, and I lived with my wife for two years, and our marital life was very happy. Then she went to her family for a visit, and a year passed. Then I went to bring her with me, but she refused to come to the house, and her father agreed with her. Finally, they went to the court in Jeddah, and then the Shaykh ruled to annul the contract unless I appear within two months. They did not inform me of this; rather, I heard this news from my maternal uncle. My question is: Does the Shaykh have the right to annul the contract without consulting me or my presence? Please inform us, may Allah reward you.
Answer: In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful. Praise be to Allah, Lord of the worlds, and the outcome is for the righteous, and blessings and peace be upon His servant and messenger, His choice from among His creation, and His trustee over His revelation, our Prophet, our Imam, and our Master Muhammad ibn Abdullah, and upon his family and his Companions, and whoever follows his path and is guided by his guidance until the Day of Judgment.
As for what follows: O questioner! Issues of dispute between a man and his wife, and likewise the rest of the issues in which people fall into various types of disputes, all pertain to the courts. The mufti has no say in them. These are for the court, and the judge looks into them, fears Allah, and rules according to what he knows of the pure Shari'ah between the man and his wife, and between the two disputing parties in everything. We ask Allah for guidance and success for everyone. Yes.
The presenter: May Allah bless you. In fact, messages are numerous regarding issues of disputes and conflicts. Therefore, in the name of the Shaykh's eminence and the honorable scholars of ifta in this program, we direct the brother listeners to what His Eminence the Shaykh has favored us with, namely that these are issues that are presented to the Shari'ah courts, and the mufti has no opinion in them except what the Shari'ah judge has ruled.
