Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
Honorable Shaykh, the questioner says: Does not the pledge of allegiance of the People of Authority to 'Uthman indicate the validity of elections and that they are in accordance with the Shari'ah?
The Shaykh:
The People of Authority and Decision are not the rabble or the common people, nor are they buying votes and chaos. No, this is not from Islam. As for the People of Authority and Decision, yes, they elect.
The presenter:
May Allah reward you.
The Shaykh:
The scholars, the rulers, the leaders, and the notables of the Ummah choose one person. This is the Islamic system for elections. As for chaos, the rabble, women, and children, that is the system of the West.
The presenter:
May Allah reward you
