The Ruling on Adopting the Democratic System

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Peace be upon you, and Allah's mercy and blessings. What is the ruling? What is the ruling on adopting the democratic system for the sake of the honor of Islam and Muslims?

Answer:
Islam is self-sufficient in its system and governance, needing none of these names or these imports. We rule by the Qur'an and the Sunnah, and we adopt the rulings of the Shari'ah, which are justice, which are good, and which are sufficient to regulate the interests of the servants. So we adopt what came in the Book of Allah and the Sunnah of His Messenger, and the ruling of this Shari'ah. And Allah (Exalted and Majestic is He) says:
and you will be superior if you are [true] believers.وَأَنتُمُ الْأَعْلَوْنَ إِن كُنتُم مُّؤْمِنِينَ
[Ali 'Imran 3:139]
