Al-Ma'idah 42

سَمَّاعُونَ لِلْكَذِبِ اَكَّالُونَ لِلسُّحْتِۜ فَاِنْ جَٓاؤُ۫كَ فَاحْكُمْ بَيْنَهُمْ اَوْ اَعْرِضْ عَنْهُمْۚ وَاِنْ تُعْرِضْ عَنْهُمْ فَلَنْ يَضُرُّوكَ شَيْـًٔاۜ وَاِنْ حَكَمْتَ فَاحْكُمْ بَيْنَهُمْ بِالْقِسْطِۜ اِنَّ اللّٰهَ يُحِبُّ الْمُقْسِط۪ينَ ۝٤٢

42They are avid listeners to lies and greatly given to devouring what is unlawful (haram). If they come to you with a case, you may judge between them or decline to judge, as you wish! If you do not take up their case, they cannot harm you in any way. But if you do judge, judge between them with justice! For Allah loves those who establish justice.
