Answer

All perfect praise be to Allaah, The Lord of the Worlds. I testify that there is none worthy of worship except Allaah, and that Muhammad is His slave and Messenger. We ask Allaah to exalt his mention as well as that of his family and all his companions.

It is the speciality of Islamic courts to look into these issues, as it is more proper for them to study the case from all its aspects. Moreover, the ruling of the judge removes any disputes in matters of Ijtihaad and both parties should abide his ruling.

Since this issue is taken to the court and the judge has already ruled on it, then we do not have anything more to say.

Allaah knows best.
