Question
Is it permissible for a Muslim to become a police officer? A Mufti states in his fatwa that it is permissible.
Answer
It is not permissible to become a police official in this era, not even in a Muslim country. All laws in all countries are of a kufr system. A police has to enforce the law in conflict with the Shariah. It is therefore haraam to become a police officer. If an oath of kufr allegiance has to be taken, then the chap loses his Imaan. The fatwa of permissibility is the effect of jahaalat.
does not justify the bid'ah which is being perpetrated today in the public Musaajid. Khanqah acts are private practices, not Sunnah practices.
