Shaykh Abdul-Aziz Ibn Baz رحمه الله: Those who judge by laws other than what Allah revealed vary according to their beliefs and deeds. Those who rule by secular laws believing that they are more
appropriate and propitious than the revealed Laws of Allah are Kafirs (disbelievers) according the unanimous view of Muslim scholars. The same ruling applies to those who rule by manmade laws instead of the Shari ah (Islamic law) of Allah
believing that it is permissible to do so, even if they still acknowledge that the Shari`ah is more superior than manmade laws. This is because they make lawful what Allah has prohibited Whoever judges by what Allah did not reveal on the ground of mere whimsical desires, or in
the hope of earning some material gain, or due to hostility towards the defendant, or for any other reason while being fully aware that by doing so he is disobedient to Allah and that it is obligatory to rule by the Shari`ah, such a person is a grave sinner and has indeed fallen
in minor Kufr (disbelief), Zhulm (injustice), and Fisq (flagrant violation of Islamic law). This ruling is reported from Ibn 'Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both), Tawus and a group of the Salaf (righteous predecessors). This was also the preponderant view of the majority
of Muslim scholars. In the end, it is Allah alone who grants success.
