What is Islam's ruling on working in judicial courts?
Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
It is permissible to work in courts that rule according to Allah's law and establish justice, but it is not permissible to work in courts that do not rule according to Allah's law, as this constitutes aiding falsehood. Likewise, it is not permissible to seek judgment from those courts except in cases of extreme necessity.
