The Shaykh continues his speech on the ruling regarding entering parliaments

The Shaykh : The one who wants to enter parliament, first of all, I am asking you now: since you are keen on entering parliament, or a license, excuse me, I made a mistake and I withdraw my word. Since you are keen on saying that entering parliament is permissible, is this expression correct? If it is a mistake, I will also retract it.
The student : I am keen to hear your opinion on...

The Shaykh : Political, political. You worked in politics in your time.
The student : Against America.

The Shaykh : Like this, my brother. You are keen. Do you think well of me or ill? You are not as keen as you are. What do you say? I am keen like you, yes.
The student : ...

The Shaykh : May Allah bless you. I am keen like you, meaning, as you want to hear from me, I want to hear from you. So why do you suspect me?
The student : ...

The Shaykh : But we do not deny all politics, because we said, and it was held against us, that we said of politics: abandoning politics. Is that correct or not?
The student : ...

The Shaykh : That is, of course. And therefore I say I do not deny politics. So if you now ask, is this from politics? Yes, there is Shari'ah-compliant politics, there is non-Shari'ah-compliant politics, and so on. So my being polite with the manners of the Qur'an, is the reward for goodness anything but goodness? You want to hear good from me, so what will be my position toward you? Do I not want to hear good from you? That is politics.
The student: Of course.

The Shaykh : I will say Shari'ah politics. May Allah bless you. The scholar...
The student: Regarding ... .

The Shaykh : The Muslim world today is living in a wave of very serious intellectual misguidance, and not just the common people, but the elite, and among the elite is our brother 'Abd al-Rahman and his like. In many Islamic countries now, in Yemen, there is a huge, huge movement—you know the Arabic that we learned from you and you learned from us—a huge, intense movement to enter parliament. My brother, I researched this earlier and now I have returned to it. Those who want to enter parliament: first, one is not enough, two, three, five is not enough. Second, the number that has power in parliament and can influence it must be a large number. And this large number must be a knowledgeable number regarding what is permissible in Islam and what is not permissible. As for following the rulings by launching from the premise that we think many Islamic preachers are falling into, whether they like it or not, which is: "The end justifies the means." The end justifies the means! Yes, we enter parliament, we walk ten so that one walks, ten from misguidance so that we save one from misguidance and walk him on the line. Until when...? The parliament and the principle, as it was said: Can the shadow be straight while the stick is crooked? Many groups from parliamentary parties entered and returned with empty hands, or rather, they did not even return with empty hands. Why? Because the large number of disbelievers and the system based on the majority of votes does not help the Muslims to succeed. When will they succeed? When they establish the principle, when they raise the people on Islam. This people, at that time, if there is something in Islam called parliament, this people is the one who will establish the Majlis al-Shura, which is known in Islam from the people of knowledge, virtue, and righteousness. But by the method of votes, and by Allah, I am in the greatest of wonder. If we leave the scientific research aside for now, if the success of the candidate himself to be a member of parliament is based on the number of votes, and if the majority of the people is corruption and not righteousness, who will succeed? Tell me, in the agreed-upon method, who will succeed?
The student : I mean, he might succeed...

The Shaykh : Political talk.
The student : No, Shaykh, allow me just a moment.

The Shaykh : Political talk.
The student : ... I derive from your words, when you spoke about the filtering, the common people might know that these are people of right, but others... in this concept... but they know these are on good and these are on misguidance...

The Shaykh : Did you understand from me, when I said "political speech," what I mean? I tell you in advance, no. And if my answer is correct, you should tell me why? But nevertheless, I did not understand what I mean by saying you are speaking political speech. You continued in your speech. Do you know why I said your speech is political speech? Political speech repeats, it shortens the speech, it shortens it, it stretches it a little, it stretches it more and more and more. You say "maybe, maybe." This is met with its counterpart. Do you understand my words, my brother? Well, what is the benefit of this speech? My question was: the society now, the Kuwaiti society, the Algerian society, where people were found supporting the entry of Muslims into parliament. Well, this society, the society in which the candidate succeeds by a large number of votes, is this society dominated by righteousness or by corruption? That was my question. You started saying "maybe, maybe." What is this question? Is it dominated by righteousness or by corruption?
The student : It is not dominated by righteousness.

The Shaykh : Look, it is not dominated by righteousness. Why do you not say, my brother, it is dominated by corruption? May Allah guide you. And you will tell me later, be patient. And until when do I wait?
The student : ... .
