But if he believes that the laws of Allah are binding and knows the respective laws are relevant to the case he is handling, and yet he opted to rule by otherwise, recognizing that his deed is wrong, and would be subject to punishment, then such a ruler is disobedient who have committed minor Kufr or disbelief. But if he was ignorant of the respective Divine law and tried his best and utmost seeking it, but missed it, he would have committed an error, but he would be rewarded for exerting the effort to reach the proper judgment and, whose error would be forgiven. *[At Tahawiyah p.363 364]*.

This applies to cases that concern individuals, but ruling on cases that concern the public is a different case. *Shaikhul-Islam Ibn Taymiyyah* said: _"If the ruler was religious and yet ruled ignorantly without knowledge, he would end up in Hell-Fire. But if he is aware of the Divine laws and yet he ruled by other than the truth of which he is aware, he would belong to the people of Hell-Fire. And if he rules unjustly and without knowledge, he would be more deserving of Fire.

This in case he judges in a case of an individual, but if he judges in a case which concerns the public, and altered the truth into falsehood, and the falsehood into truth, the Sunnah into Bid'ah, or the Bid'ah into Sunnah, and the good into evil and the evil into good, and opposes the commands of Allah and His Messenger and commands what Allah and His Messenger forbid, then this is another type to be judged by Allah_ *[Majmoo' al Fatawa, p. 388]*
Allah says: *"He who sent His Messenger with guidance and the deen of the truth, to make it prevail over all other religions. And Allah is sufficient as a Witness."* (48:28).

*Shaikhul Islam lbn Taymiyyah* went on to say: _"There is no doubt that he who does not believe in the incumbency of the ruling by what Allah sent to His Messenger is an infidel. So he who deems it lawful to judge between people according to what he deems as justice without adhering to what Allah sent down is an infidel too. There are many people who accept Islam, but do not rule except by the prevailing customs that are commanded by obeyed lords. Such people know that it is not permissible, but they deem it as lawful to rule by other than what Allah sent down, they are infidels."_ *[Minhaaj as Sunnah]*.

*Shaikh Muhammad ibn Ibraheem* asserted: _"As for that which is described as lesser infidelity, it is when he refers the dispute to other than the Book of Allah knowing that he is disobeying Allah by doing so and that the ruling of Allah is the truth, and He does it once. As for those who legislate laws and make others obey them, this constitutes infidelity, even if they claim that they made a mistake and that the laws of Allah are more just; such is considered as infidelity which entails apostasy."_ *[Fatawa ash-Sheik Muhammad ibn Ibraheem aal Ash-Sheikh (The Mufti of Saudi Arabia before Allamah Ibn Baaz rahimahullah)]*

▪️ *Claiming the Right of Legislation, Legalization and Illegalization*
➖➖➖

Legislating rulings for the slaves of Allah to follow in their acts of worship, transactions, settling the disputes, litigation, and in the rest of their affairs is an exclusive right of Allah, the Exalted, the Rubb of mankind, and the Creator of the creatures.

Allah says: *"Verily the creation and the command belong to Him, and He is the blessing Granter, the Rubb of the Worlds."* (7:54).
___*PAGE 7*___.

Allah, the Exalted, says: *"And if you dispute over anything, refer it to Allah and His Messenger if you really believe in Allah and the Last Day, that is best in terms of consequences."* (4:59)
And He also says: *"And in whatever you differ, the decision thereof rests with Allah. Say: 'This is Allah, my Rubb"* (42:10)
Allah, Glory be to Him, denies that His slaves should accept a lawmaker other than Himself. He says: *"Or do they have partners to Allah to legislate for them in the deen what Allah does not allow?"* (42:21).
___*PAGE 8*___.
✍️...

Hence, he who accepts a law other than Allah's ascribes a partner to Allah. Whatever act of worship that is not legislated by Allah and His Messenger is Bid'ah, and every Bid'ah is a means of deviation. The Prophet said: _*"He who introduces in our deen, anything which does not belong to it, it shall be rejected."*_ [Bukhari and Muslim]
While any other law which is legislated by neither Allah nor His Messenger in politics, or for judging in people's disputes, it is considered as the law of Taghut, and Jahiliyyah (Pre Islamic era).
___*PAGE 9*___.
✍️...

Allah says: *"Do they seek the judgment of Jahiliyyah? And who is better than Allah as a judge for a people who have firm faith?"* (5:50)
The right to legalizing and illegalizing belongs to Allah alone, and no one is permitted to share this right with Him. Allah says: *"And do not eat of that on which the name of Allah is not pronounced, for surely that is disobedience. And certainly, Satans inspire their friends to argue with you. And if you obey them, then you are polytheists."* (6:121).
___*PAGE 10*___.
✍️...

Thus Allah, the Exalted, considers obeying Satans and their followers, with regard to legalizing what Allah prohibits as Shirk. Likewise, whoever obeys scholars and rulers in prohibiting what Allah made lawfully, or legalizing what He prohibited, he would be considered as taking them as lords to the exclusion of Allah. Allah, the Exalted, says: *"They have taken their learned men and their monks, and the Messiah, the son of Maryam for lords aside from Allah. And they are commanded to worship the One God. There is no true god but He. Far is He removed from what they ascribe to Him!"* (9:31).
