What is the ruling on working in the Public Prosecution and the man-made judiciary, knowing that these bodies do not apply Sharia, and that the parents stipulate this, arguing that a righteous Muslim should not leave work in these places to others, and given the existence of seemingly contradictory fatwas on the issue?

It is impermissible for a Muslim to work as a public prosecutor in a country that governs itself by man-made laws contrary to Sharia (definition), as this is a clear violation of Allah Almighty's commands and His right to legislate and rule, as Sheikh Hani Al-Jubair emphasized, citing Quranic verses. He considered the profession of public prosecutor to be forbidden if it involves applying or ruling by a law that contradicts Sharia.

Some contemporary scholars have permitted assuming judicial roles in cases of necessity, distinguishing between administrative areas that do not directly conflict with Sharia rulings (which they permitted) and criminal areas that force opposition to Sharia (which they prohibited). However, these jurisprudential efforts are still in their nascent stages, and the overarching principle remains the impermissibility of ruling by other than what Allah has revealed.

This permission – despite its weakness – must be limited to mere participation in the job without directly ruling by other than Sharia, with the aim of achieving benefit and warding off harm. The sole justification for working in this profession must be to support the religion, establish proof against those who deviate, and avert or alleviate injustice from Muslims. If one is unable to do so, then they must withdraw.

In the event that parents command such, there is no obedience to a creature in disobedience to the Creator, while striving to honor them and treat them with kindness.
