Question
Is it permissible for a Muslim to be a magistrate in a secular court?
Answer
The Imaan of a Muslim who becomes a judge/magistrate in a kaafir/ secular system is almost certainly eliminated. He has to compulsorily adjudicate in accordance with kufr law. Such persons are described in the Qur'aan Majeed as kaafiroon.
