However, with these justifications, it seems that the status of the jurists in the state exceeded the natural limit, encompassing even matters that required purely military or administrative expertise. This is what Al-Marrakushi described, saying, "The jurists remained in that state, and the affairs of the Muslims were referred to them. Their judgments, small and large, were dependent on them throughout his reign [i.e., Ali bin Yusuf]. So the status of the jurists grew."

Perhaps that status enjoyed by the jurists among the Almoravids led to ease in their material condition, reaching a level of excessive wealth for some of them. Ibn Tashmin, as the author of Al-Mu'jib mentioned, "In the reign of Ali bin Yusuf, the status of the jurists grew, and people's attention turned to them, so their wealth increased, and their earnings expanded." Al-Salawi described a house built by one of the jurists, which indicates this excessive wealth.

This firm position that the jurists reached among the Almoravids, with the resulting transgressions beyond the scope of consultation and expertise, sometimes reaching a level of indecency, was a point of public attention. Some tongues began to describe this situation with criticism, with some exaggeration that could turn into abuse. Among these was what the poet Abu Ja'far Ahmad bin Muhammad, known as Ibn Al-Banna, said: Al-Marrakushi, Al-Mu'jib: (115) Rawd Al-Qirtas: Ibn Abi Zar': (116) Al-Mu'jib: (117) Al-Salawi, Al-Istiqsa': (118) Abdul Rahman Al-Qasim bin Khalid bin (119) Junada Al-Ataqi Al-Masri, may God be pleased with him, was an ascetic Egyptian jurist. He studied under Imam Malik and is considered one of his most famous students. He died in the year 806 AH / 191 AD. See: Ibn Khallikan, Wafiyat Al-A'yan: 276.
