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.
