Are we talking about the same common law affects you as a resident/citizen of Nigeria or what? There isn't anything wrong in studying common law, you can always choose to specialise in areas that won't contradict your religion. You would be tried by the same law whether you are muslim or not.

The so called laid down rules are unconstitutional and goes against everything a liberal society proclaims. A government funded institution does not possess the power to make rules that harms a part of the society.

WaleOsu:
Truth be told,we muslims shouldnt make an issue out of this...there was a laid down rule, and you have to follow.If you cant follow the rules,then pick other courses to study...when I was way younger,my maleem would always list some courses that arent appropriate for muslims,law was one of those he listed because as a lawyer,you'll have to lie to be successful which is haram...the truth is,if you really want to reflect Islam in your career,pick a career that accommodates the teachings of Islam,dont just pick anyone and later start complaining of injustice...its that simple!


Modified: some are quoting me already,advise your loved ones to choose their careers with Islam in mind...if she really put Islam first,she wouldnt study common law,common law is filled with injustice,and that is technically haram.
Please,dont let's play the religion card...lets put sentiments aside for once...salam

There are so many rules that aren't constitutional,but must be adhered to,for example;you need 75% attendance to sit for exams,if you dont have up to that then no exams, but depriving you of the right to sit for exams isnt constitutional,but that is the institution's rule,there's nothing you can do about it...there are hundreds of muslim ladies in her graduating set,do they have 2 heads?
Like I said,we should put Islam first in choosing our career,that is why you hardly see devoted muslim ladies in football

Murif is doing something good for her first time

You are mixing things up. One goes straight to one of the fundamental human rights, the other does not. I don't like unrelated examples. They do my head in.

Yes, they have two heads. They did what they should not have done and they know it. What else?

Islam didn't say she shouldn't study law. And regardless of what Islam says law school has no right to bar hijab. Focusing on the issue right at stake, law school does not have the right to bar hijab.

ofcourse they do,the principles of "their law" wasn't based on the basics of Islam...infact in my opinion,I believe law and constitution were coined by non-believers,so why should muslims believe in this same law and constitution (just my opinion anyway)...my point is that,there are alot of muslims who wanted to study law (my younger sister inclusive,she had to settle for mass communication),but they had to drop it because it doesnt accommodate the teachings of Islam completely...I'm sure she knew that,just as people like my sister had known

nawtyme:
Wow. They even came late. I was expecting them since yesterday. This is a wake up call to us Christians. Let's begin to put our religion above every law in Nigeria.
1. Trouser should be made optional for NYSC.
2. Alcohol should not be destroyed by HISBAH in kano
3. On no account should a Christian appear in a Sharia court be it in zamfara or kano.

For those of you Christians who still criticize CAN wait till we are overrun be these islamists like Constantinople was overrun by the defunct ottoman empire that gave birth to turkey.

May God dash you sense.
You are comparing Dress and Alcohol, which is better. you want every daughter to appear indecent or no shame.
Look at the pros and cons of what you type here. We have many intelligent people on Nairaland. beside must u comment.

WaleOsu:

sorry my brother,you are a hypocrite...I never condemned Allah's rule,I'll never do that...infact,you have a potential of extremism...part of the reasons why I studied Computer Science was because its pure,it accommodates my religion,I had other courses in mind...you telling me my faith is shrinked means your comprehension is shallow...my point was that you should choose a career that allows you practice your religion,and not what you are trying to interprete,go and read my comment again...and moreover,we cant force Islam on others,the prophet (saw) instructed against such,so we shouldnt force our belief on the society...salam

Using of hijab is forcing of Islamic religion on others? it seems you don't understand fundamental Human Rights, if Scotland can all Muslims police women to use hijab while metropolitan police in London used hijab and UK royal Supreme Court allowed Muslim female lawyers to stand for cases in UK, even Canada too allowing Muslims police to use hijab.

But sub-Saharan countries still glued with leftover of their colonial masters by forcing lawyers wig on all lawyers, Muslims can study English common law if it wish, to be rational is the key on tenet of Islamic teaching.

Colo mentality is blocking sense self of reasoning of sub-Saharan lawyers by forgetting equity and justice the law itself stand for, are they Human Rights or human liars, the young did that to agitate for her right and other Muslim ladies

As Muslims you always employ Taquiya to claim that you read the Bible. Read what Jesus said in Matthew chapter 15 vs 11

May Allah increase you in beneficial knowledge Sir.
Nigeria is a secular country and this is the reason why we Muslims have to recognize her constitution. A Muslim that goes against it would be dealt with as those who ensure the law is in order don't want to know whether you recognize it (the law) or not. As far as you are in this country, the law will get hold of you if you go against it. So in this case, we Nigerian Muslims have to recognize the constitution despite the fact that it was coined by people of other beliefs as you've said. It's not going to be a sin because we are not doing so out of our free will, something great led to it.
Talking about professions that won't allow you to practise the deen as you are supposed to, we have many professions like that but some of them are in a way such that some of us just have to go into them (I.e the professions). E.g Military Officer, Lawyer et all. We'll be made to suffer for it if we don't have some of us that are into these professions. Just imagine a situation where we don't have Muslim lawyers, who will work in our favour if there is a case that has to do with Islam?
In a situation whereby we don't have Muslim soldiers, Muslims will be marginalized by the Military in some situations. There are many ways where the boycott of these professions can cause us to suffer

While there are some that we have to distant ourselves with. E.g Female footballers, bet attendant, pork selling et all.
We won't be affected by distancing ourselves from these types of profession, so it will be haram for us to go into them (I.e the professions).

Your Ustadh is correct, we have to consider Islam before choosing a profession. But the thing is just that, there are some professions that are not in favour of Islam but we can't distant ourselves from them.
Thanks you

Modified: The study of common Law is not haram.

Wow I commend muric on this instead of shouting fire and brimstone, they have chosen the high way of reason and diplomacy instead of the rocky road of violence and blood. Kudos muric. Let other northern musli,m learn to put his displeasure in an amicable way like muric. On the hijab issue is it an issue for the bar I don't understand.

Edit
Muric all Muslim females before now were they called to bar with hijab eg wife of former abduilsalami?

And is the profession allowing any dress style ...

WaleOsu:

Thank you for this my brother...in cases where a muslim needs a lawyer,I believe he/she can go look for a non-believer lawyer who would take up his/her case for an agreed fee,it doesnt necessarily have to be a muslim lawyer...may Allah lead us to the right path...thank you once again my brother

Aaameen, thanks as well. In a case on the ownership of a land where a Mosque is built or a case between a group of Muslims and a group of Kaafirs, it is a Muslim Lawyer that'll be suitable to be on the Muslims side. There are many cases like that.

Yes, it is.

Haters of Islam go to hell

Praise be to Allaah.

Working as a lawyer is not haraam in and of itself, because it is not judging according to something other than that which Allaah has revealed, rather it is acting as a person’s deputy or representative in cases of dispute, which is a permissible kind of deputation or representation. But the lawyer must be careful and make sure of the case before getting involved in it. If it is a claim regarding some right that has been taken away in a wrong manner, then it is permissible for you to argue on his behalf to have his rights restored to him and the wrongdoing stopped. This comes under the heading of cooperating in righteousness and piety. But if the case involves taking away people’s rights and transgressing against them, then it is not permissible for you to act as his representative, because that comes under the heading of cooperating in sin and transgression. Allaah has issued a warning to those who cooperate in this sin, as He says (interpretation of the meaning):
“Help you one another in Al‑Birr and At‑Taqwa (virtue, righteousness and piety); but do not help one another in sin and transgression. And fear Allaah. Verily, Allaah is Severe in punishment”
[al-Maa'idah 5:2].
To give you more peace of mind, we will quote fatwas from some of the scholars about this issue:
1 – Shaykh ‘Abd al-‘Azeez ibn Baaz (may Allaah have mercy on him) was asked:
What is the Islamic ruling on working as a lawyer?
He replied:
I do not know of anything wrong with working as a lawyer, because it is acting as a person’s representative in claims and defence, so long as the lawyer seeks to do what is right and does not deliberately tell lies, as applies to all cases of representing or acting on behalf of others.
Fataawa Islamiyyah (3/5050).
2 –Shaykh Saalih al-Fawzaan (may Allaah preserve him) said:
What is your opinion on my working as a lawyer, where I appear before the civil courts in order to defend civil and commercial cases in which there may be riba involved?
He replied:
Undoubtedly there is nothing wrong with one person acting on behalf of another in cases of dispute, but it depends on the type of dispute:
1. If the case is well founded and the representative is basing his case on facts that he knows, and there is no perjury, lying or trickery involved, and he is representing the person in order to present his proof and evidence as to the truth of his claim or to defend him, there is nothing wrong with that.
2. But if the dispute involves some false claim or speaking on behalf of someone who is in the wrong, then this is not permissible. Allaah said to His Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) (interpretation of the meaning): “so be not a pleader for the treacherous” [al-Nisa’ 4:105] . We all know that if the case is a just one and he does not use any kind of lying or perjury, then there is nothing wrong with that, especially if the person is weak and cannot defend himself or establish his claim to what is his right. Appointing someone who is stronger than him to represent him is permitted in sharee’ah. Allaah says (interpretation of the meaning): “But if the debtor is of poor understanding, or weak, or is unable to dictate for himself, then let his guardian dictate in justice” [al-Baqarah 2:282] . Acting on behalf of a weak person in order to ensure that he gets what is rightfully his or to ward off wrongdoing from him is a good thing. But if it is other than that, i.e., helping a person who is in the wrong or defending wrongdoing or using false evidence, and the deputy or representative knows that the case is basically wrong, such as representing a person with regard to something haraam such as riba, then it is not permissible. It is not permissible for a Muslim to act as a deputy or representative with regard to falsehood or to act as a lawyer in transactions that involve riba, because then he is helping in the consumption of riba and so the curse applies to him.
Al-Muntaqa min Fataawa al-Fawzaan (3/288, 289).
Secondly:
The fact that you live in a country that is not ruled in accordance with that which Allaah has revealed and is rather ruled by man-made laws, does not mean that it is haraam to work as a lawyer if the intention is to attain rights and ward off wrongs. The person who has been wronged is compelled by necessity to refer to these laws in order to attain his rights, otherwise people would wrong one another with impunity and chaos would overtake the society. But if the law gives him more than he is entitled to, then it is haraam for him to take it. He should only take what he is entitled to. If he refers for judgement to these laws in order to attain his rights and ward off wrongdoing, there is no sin on the one who has been wronged or on the lawyer who represents him in a dispute by referring to these laws for judgement. Rather the sin falls on the one who replaced the laws of Allaah with these laws and forced the people to refer to them for judgement. Ibn al-Qayyim (may Allaah have mercy on him) referred to this in his book al-Turuq al-Hukmiyyah (p. 185).
Hence we do not advise you to leave this profession, rather we advise you to carry on working in it, and to continue to advance by reading books and studying them, and learning from senior lawyers, for people need trustworthy lawyers who will defend them and restore their rights.
Your aim should always be to support and help those who have been wronged. There are glad tidings for you in the words of the Messenger (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him): “Whoever walks with one who has been wronged until he establishes his rights, Allaah will make his feet firm on the Siraat on the Day when feet slip.” Narrated by Ibn Abi’l-Dunya and classed as hasan by al-Albaani in Saheeh al-Targheeb .
And Allaah knows best.

Yes, you are right ma. It is not haram to study common law.

Ridwan1821:
Yes, it is.

If its then every aspiring barrister is expected to submit to the dictates of the law profession and its code of ethics which the said lady is trying to negate. Don't you think so?

WaleOsu:
Truth be told,we muslims shouldnt make an issue out of this...there was a laid down rule, and you have to follow.If you cant follow the rules,then pick other courses to study.

*HIJAB SAGA AT THE CALL TO BAR:*

*AN EYE WITNESS ACCOUNT.....*

All through, in my life I have never experienced the kind of hatred and disgust towards a fellow human being as what I saw on 12th December, 2017. I arrived the ICC for the call on time, followed the queue and entered the hall. When the BOB filed in, we all stood up as a sign of respect and followed the instructions as expected of aspirants to the Bar. Every thing was going smoothly until the time a lady approached the podium to receive hand shake and collect her certificates. As she moved down the podium and made to return to her seat, I
noticed Mrs. Mevayen Jemialu, a lecturer at the Nigerian Law School, Abuja campus, walking at a very fast pace towards this lady. Upon reaching the lady, she asked her to remove the hijab and throw it on the floor. Then she stepped on it and kicked it several times while uttering very humiliating words on the lady. As if that was not enough, she asked a guard to stand by the hijab and ensured the lady couldn't pick it.

Few minutes later, Mrs. Jemialu, accompanied by her junior colleague, Mrs. Jennifer Ikwuanusi came to cease her certificates. My seat was
close to the scene so I could see with my eyes. I feel a deep pain in my heart as a human. I couldn't agree within me that the way the lady
was treated is right. I respect Mrs. Jemialu so much, but from that very moment the respect I have for her disappeared. Her action was a
strong indication of unwarranted bias against people of other faiths. In a saner society, people like Mrs. Jemialu should by now be on
suspension. But this is Nigeria anything goes. After the program, the lady went to ask for her certificates. This time, she had lost the
courage to put on the hijab the second time. But something more amazing happened. Mrs. Emetejife Onoriode, attempted to search the
lady. Only God knows her mission. She and her colleagues present at the front side of the podium were accusing the lady of a
premeditated action. It took the intervention of Mr. Samuel Osamolu to allow the sleeping dog lies. At this point I came to the conclusion that
we actually have bias against the Muslims and we are not accommodating. I left the hall to inquire about the lady. It was then I knew we finished together from the same Abuja campus and that she graduated from University of Ilorin. I was therefore not surprised to hear the next day that another female aspirant to the Bar was denied her right to be called to the Nigerian Bar just because of wearing hijab. This is Nigeria's most embarrassing story for the year 2017.


So Another Incident Actually Happened Before Amasa

WaleOsu:

Thank you for this my brother...in cases where a muslim needs a lawyer,I believe he/she can go look for a non-believer lawyer who would take up his/her case for an agreed fee,it doesnt necessarily have to be a muslim lawyer...may Allah lead us to the right path...thank you once again my brother

You are kidding, right?

Mrs. Mevayen Jemialu and Mrs Jennifer Ikwuanusi need to be exposed if this is true.

I found a fb acct for Ikwuanusi and sent the article to her. Found a linked in for mevayen and an African constitutional rights lawyer contact for Omoriode. I contacted them too. Only mevayen contact is missing, have to pay to send email via linked in

They are very stupid. Like Nigeria is only "secular" country?. Nigerian Christians are prejudice, religiously bias and hypocritical.
