Answer
It appears from your question that you wish to study and practice family law.
If so, it is clear that Family law according to the Shari'ah is different from the law of the land and you will be bound by your qualifications and practice. In principle, it is not permissible to practice any law contrary to the Shari'ah.

Fatawa SA is an independent, read-only index of fatawa already published by Darul Iftaa Mahmudiyyah (AskImam). It is not a fatwa service. For your own situation, ask the issuing Darul Ifta directly.
