Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
The question: There has been a lot of questioning from the brothers in Egypt asking this question. They say that tomorrow in Egypt there will be a referendum on the constitutional amendments. They say that tomorrow in Egypt there will be a referendum on the constitutional amendments, and in this referendum, voting will take place on Article Two of the Constitution, which states that Islam is the source of legislation in the state. The brothers in Egypt are confused about whether they should participate in voting for the retention of Article Two or not. It is mixed. Yes, I am Abu Hayy. The Shaykh said, may Allah reward you, tomorrow in Egypt.

The Shaykh:
Yes, I understood the question.

The questioner:
A referendum will take place.

The Shaykh:
I will shorten the path for you. I say: We do not interfere in the affairs of Egypt or any other country. They have their scholars; they should ask their scholars. As for us, we do not interfere in their affairs.
