Official translation — source

The judge must endeavor to judge each case on the basis of the codified law, and if he cannot find it in the law, he must base his judgments on authoritative Islamic sources and authoritative fatwas. He may not refuse to accept, examine, and rule on cases on the pretext of the silence or absence of the law in the matter or its brevity or inconsistencies in the laws.
