We are quick to pass judgement or fatwa while we are not in the position to do so.
You can't be a mufti until you acquire the necessary knowledge and the state of the people in which you are to pass judgement to.
This is one of the problems we are facing in the Islamic world now, especially from the new or upcoming ulamas.
If Islam prohibits industrial strike, in what basis, circumstance and nature does it prohibit doing so? It is just like someone calls an imam on phone and asks him about islamic ruling on eating fork meat.
Generally, eating pig meat is haram in Islam, but the mufti will not tell him that immediately until he asks him the circumstance and condition the person finds himself in.
Because the ruling may change in relation to the particular condition and circumstance the questioner finds himself.
But our young ulamas lack all this, they are eager to pass judgement to satisfy their egocentric aggrandisement or in order to be called ulamas.
Mallam Saidu Maikano should have known all the circumstances associated with the whole issue from both sides before passing judgement , not by mere looking at only Labour side.
And he has to also know the Labour or contract agreement between the labour and government, and what transacted between the two parties and see who's at fault.
Only then, he or anyone could give a balanced, unbiased and Islamically acceptable judgement.
Allah knows better!
