Bayhaqi Q20262 — It is recommended for the judge not to hold court

قَالَ الشَّافِعِيُّ رَحِمَهُ اللهُ: لِكَثْرَةِ مَنْ يَغْشَاهُ لِغَيْرِ مَا بُنِيَتْ لَهُ الْمَسَاجِدُ.
Imam al-Shafi'i (may Allah have mercy on him) said: "(This) is because of the large number of people who come to him (the judge) for purposes other than those for which mosques were built."
