Working in government and the judiciary : working as a judge in a secular country

السؤال

Dear Dr. Monzer, Assalamu Alaykum Wa Rahmatullahi Wa Barakatuh, Following is a financial question : As Salamu `Alaykum, dear brothers and sisters. Shukran ktir for this great work in Islam. May Allah reward you all !! Well my question I think it’s a little bit complex. I am studying Law in Barcelona, and I have read some questions about working as a judge in a secular country. I think justice is one of the most important things in a society. In my personal case, I'm thinking about doing in two years a competitive exam to be a property register here in Spain, and to control the legality of rights over real estates and to register these rights and their owners. In general, there are no Haram things in this work, but my question is about mortgage ? I mean, in the Spanish system, the mortgages must be registered and the register man must write (I mean, reflect not determine) the interest tax of that mortgage that have been pledged before between the parties of the mortgage contract. A friend of mine that is Muslim told me that I have not to worry because of this, because Muslim Scholars have said that if there is no other choice for Muslims, it is Halal to buy a house with interest. But I at the same time I think in the Hadith that says that our beloved Prophet said that it is Haram to be a testimony of interests ? this work, so far, is my dream dear brothers, but I don’t want to compromise my faith. So, would be this job good for a Muslim if it is done with a sincere compromise of Justice and Allah ? If in the other question, the work of Judge it is not Haram even though there are some laws that are contrary to Islam, and knowing that interests are a tax that is put in most of insemination for all damages caused, could I present myself to this competitive exam ?? Please it’s very important issue for me, try to be sincere with me ? I love Allah more than anything. Thank very much brothers and sisters. Jazakum Allahu Khairan for your constant help
