The questioner : ... the Qadiyyah ... .
The Shaykh : Is it permissible?
The questioner: Is it permissible for them to ... form a party against the misguided sects?
The Shaykh: Partisanship in Islam is forbidden.
The questioner: It is forbidden; but there are the misguided sects.
The Shaykh: But gathering and clustering without partisanship, such that we do not accept other Muslims with us on the basis of the Book and the Sunnah and the methodology of the pious predecessors, this is necessary. But it is not partisanship, group against group, and they are all within the circle of Islam; this is not permissible. For Allah (Mighty and Majestic) says:[Ar-Rum 30:31-32].
-- Look at the adhan ... the book, look at the hadiths reported regarding the Prophet's teaching of Abu Mahdhura or others; did you understand me?
The questioner : ... .
The Shaykh: This is it --
The questioner: = Now, regarding parliaments through the democratic path; is it permissible for them or not?
The Shaykh: Unless the parliament declares that it will rule by the Shari'ah of Islam in its details; then it is not permissible to enter such a parliament. This is first. And second, the elections that take place today in some Islamic countries, and recently occurred with us in Oman; this is contrary to Islam. For the election is such that all men participate in it, and even women participate in it. So what is the benefit of this election when it includes the righteous and the wicked, and includes ... and the corrupt, and so on.

and do not be of those who associate others with Allah (32) [Or] of those who have divided their religion and become sects, every faction rejoicing in what it has.
ولا تكونوا من المشركين * مِنَ الَّذِينَ فَرَّقُوا دِينَهُمْ وَكَانُوا شِيَعًا كُلُّ حِزْبٍ بِمَا لَدَيْهِمْ فَرِحُونَ-- Look at the adhan ... the book, look at the hadiths reported regarding the Prophet's teaching of Abu Mahdhura or others; did you understand me?
