The answer

The refers the questioner to previous fatwas regarding cooperation in sin and aggression, and notes that many of the scenarios mentioned by the questioner do not clearly show cooperation in sin, suggesting that this is likely due to waswasa (whispers/obsessive thoughts).

He states that laughing at a specific person is considered backbiting (gheebah), as it is something they dislike, citing the : "Your mention of your brother with what he dislikes."

He also refers the questioner to previous fatwas concerning practicing law and judgeship under man-made laws, and mentions that there is no harm in studying law if it is for a valid purpose.
