The answer

It is not permissible for a Muslim to work or rule by anything that contravenes the of Allah the Almighty in any man-made or constitutional law, for sovereignty belongs to Allah alone. Allah the Almighty said: "Sovereignty belongs to none but Allah." And whoever rules by other than what Allah has revealed is a disbeliever. The Sharia of Allah is made clear in the Book and the . Just as Allah forbade associating partners with Him in worship, He also forbade associating partners with Him in ruling. And whoever enacts man-made laws that permit the forbidden or forbid the permissible, knowingly and willingly, has indeed exited Islam, as has anyone who approves of such. A Muslim must distance himself from seeking judgment under these laws.
