faqih-3216Vol. 3, p. 5

اتَّقُوا الْحُكُومَةَ فَإِنَّ الْحُكُومَةَ إِنَّمَا هِيَ لِلْإِمَامِ الْعَالِمِ بِالْقَضَاءِ الْعَادِلِ فِي الْمُسْلِمِينَ كَنَبِيٍّ أَوْ وَصِيِّ نَبِيٍّ.

"Beware of judging, for judgment is only for an Imam who is knowledgeable in judicial matters and just among the Muslims, like a prophet or the executor of a prophet."
