Suing one another under man-made laws
*Please appropriately reference this fatwa to: www.fatwa-online.com, thankyou!*
Question: What is the ruling regarding suing one another before a judge who rules according to man-made laws?

Response: As much as is possible, you should not sue one another under them (man-made laws). However, if one is unable to extract his right(s) other than via them (man-made laws), then there is no harm upon him (to do so).
