Question:
How does a student of knowledge know that he has the competence to be a judge? What is your opinion regarding one who refrains from judging out of scrupulousness and in pursuit of safety? We ask you to guide those who are beginners in judging, and may Allah reward you with good?
Answer:
Answer: There is no doubt that a student of knowledge does not seek knowledge except while being prepared to fulfill its rights and meet the needs of the Muslims. Judging is among the greatest needs of the Muslims. You do not seek it, but if it is entrusted to you and you are tested with it, then be patient and seek help from Allah. Perhaps this will be better for you. If you seek help from Allah, Allah will help you. And since you did not seek it, Allah will help you. If judging or any responsibility comes to you without your seeking it, Allah will assist you in it. So, count on the reward, seek help from Allah, be patient, and do what has been assigned to you, whether judging, teaching, calling others to Islam, or otherwise. You did not learn except to fill a gap among the gaps that need to be filled. You will have the reward for this if you are a brick in the structure of the Muslims. Praise be to Allah, today judging has a system, and you have colleagues who preceded you; consult with them. Follow the system of judging and practice; if Allah wills, through this you will know the correct path. Yes.
