Hanafiy, Shofiiy, Hanbaliy va Molikiy — to'rt mazhabning barchasi sudlovning, xuddi xalifalik kabi, farz kifoya ekanligi borasida ittifoq qilgan. Shunga ko'ra, agar sud bo'lmasa, Islom bo'yicha hukm qilish ham bo'lmaydi va butun musulmon ummati uning yo'qligi sababli gunohkor bo'ladi. Ammo agar xalq uchun adolatni ta'minlash vazifasini bajaradigan faoliyatdagi sud mavjud bo'lsa, u holda farz ado etilgan bo'ladi va gunoh musulmonlarning bo'ynidan soqit bo'ladi.

It is agreed upon by the four schools of thought (i.e. Hanafi, Shafi‘i, Hanbali and Maliki) that the judiciary is fard kifayyah (sufficient fard) like the Khilafah. Accordingly, if there is no judiciary, there will be no judging by Islam, and the whole Muslim Ummah will be sinful for its absence. However, if there is a functional judiciary, that is fulfilling the role of administration of justice for the people, then the fard has been fulfilled, and the sin is removed from the necks of the Muslims.

Allohning Elchisi ﷺ shunday dedilar: “Adolatli imomning bir kuni oltmish yil ibodat qilishdan afzal, yer yuzida bir hadd (Islomiy jazo) joriy etilishi esa qirq yil yomg‘ir yog‘ishidan afzaldir.”

The Messenger of Allah (saw) said, “One day from a just Imam is better than worshipping sixty years, and the establishment of one hadud (an Islamic punishment) on the earth is better than rain for 40 years.”.

Bu masalada, ya'ni sud ishi (qazo) masalasida, nufuzli ulamolarning ba'zi fikrlari:

These are some opinions of the distinguished scholars on the issue of the Judiciary:

- Imom Sarxasiy qazolikni imondan keyin eng kuchli farz deb hisoblagan, chunki u Allohning (SWT) qonunlari amalda ijro etilishini ta’minlaydi. - Imom G‘azzoliy qazolik jihodning bir qismidir, deb aytgan.

- Imam Sarkhasi considered that the judiciary is the strongest fard after iman, because it ensures Allah’s (swt) laws are implemented in practice. - Imam Ghazzali said that the judiciary is from the Jihad.

Abdulloh ibn Mas'ud (ra) aytdi: Ikki kishi o'rtasida hakamlik qilib o'tirishni 70 yil ibodat qilishdan ko'ra afzal ko'raman.

- ‘Abdullah ibn Mas‘ud (ra) said, I prefer to sit as a judge between two people more than to perform 70 years of ibadat.
