— Surah No. 4, Verse No. 135 — Bias in a judge — Conflict of interest — Scope — The Holy Quran makes it explicit that believers are expected to uphold the scales of justice even if such a course of action goes against their own interest or that of their parents or relatives — This is because of the higher duty to be impartial and to remain uninfluenced by any interest whilst dispensing justice that is owed by a Muslim to the Almighty — Therefore, there is no rule of Islamic Law requiring a Judge to refrain from administering justice in matters in which his personal interest or that of his relatives is involved — The Judge is nevertheless under the onerous obligation that he must not be swayed by any extraneous considerations when deciding a matter.
