The questioner:
May Allah reward you. Honorable Shaykh, this questioner says: Is it permissible to establish political parties in countries that permit it, if there is a benefit for the Muslims in doing so?
The Shaykh:
Islam does not permit political parties. It forbids splitting into sects and parties. This is not permissible in Islam. Islam is one party and one community; they do not split up.
The presenter:
May Allah reward you.
The Shaykh:
Political parties are not for the Muslims; this is for the disbelievers. Yes.
