Ibn Mas‘ud said: “No age will come upon you except the age after it will be worse than it. I do not mean one ruler being better than another; nor one year being better than another. Rather your men of understanding and scholars will depart, and you will find none to fill their shoes. Then there will come a people who will give legal verdicts according to mere opinion.” This section intends to feature legal responsum & articles from qualified jurists: with an overall focus on the West, in general, and Britain, in particular.
