Signing up with a lawyers’ syndicate
Question

                My wife graduated from the school of law. She does not work but she wants to benefit from the advantages of having the ID card of the syndicate. Advantages like free treatment and pension. This is in return of paying annual fees to the syndicate. Is it permissible to participate in this syndicate knowing that law in our country is non-Islamic?.
Praise be to Allah.
    If signing up for this lawyers’ syndicate is something to 
    which graduates from the law school are entitled, whether they are working 
    or not, there is nothing wrong with your wife signing up, paying the fees 
    and benefiting from medical treatment and pensions. It does not matter that 
    the laws in your country are man-made as you say, because what is given to 
    the syndicate comes under the heading of the state sponsoring individuals 
    and graduates and this sponsorship may be necessary in some cases.

    May Allaah help us all to do that which He loves and which 
    pleases Him. 

    And Allaah knows best.
