Question

Is it permissible to file a complaint with the office responsible for consumer protection against a business that is not acting lawfully? .

Answer

It is forbidden to approach any government office or consumer office with a complaint against a merchant or artisan, even if the complaint is justified. This is because their authority derives from secular courts, or they threaten the defendant that if they do not comply, they will turn to secular courts or the police?
