The Prophet (PBUH&HF) says, "I judge among you based on evidence and oaths." Does this imply restriction, that he does not act based on his knowledge but only on evidence and oaths? Or can the Prophet (PBUH and HF) act based on both evidence and oaths and his knowledge?
Answer
In the name of Allah, in the realm of the rights of Allah's servants, it's permissible for a ruler to judge based on their knowledge. However, the narration referring to the Prophet's statement indicates a different aspect, hinted at in the narrative's conclusion. It signifies that whoever is given something based on evidence or oath and is not deserving, they consume a piece of Hellfire. The ruler judges with knowledge in the absence of evidence and oaths regarding the rights of 's servants. Reflection upon the narration is encouraged. Allah knows best; He is the Guide.
