The Muslim's Position on Parliamentary Elections
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
This questioner says: Your Eminence, father, what is the Muslim's position on parliamentary elections in which members of the council are nominated? Should he abstain from them entirely because they are foreign to Islam? Or should he limit himself to voting for the candidate he sees as causing the least harm to Muslims? Or should he join the political party he sees as most beneficial for Muslims?
Answer:
I do not know about this; this is not something that exists with us, yes.
