What is the ruling on entering parliaments?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : What is the ruling on entering the parliament?
The Shaykh : How?
The questioner : There are no parliaments in the Muslim society; there are no parliaments, there is a Shura Council. As for parliaments established on the basis of elections that contradict the saying of Allah, Mighty and Majestic:[Al-Qalam 68:35-36] Parliaments that are based on the principle of equality between the believer and the disbeliever, between the righteous believer and the wicked believer, that are based on the principle of equality between the man and the woman, this is not an Islamic parliament. This is a parliament based on a system that is either democratic or socialist or similar to those systems that contradict Islam fundamentally. And it is regrettable today that among some Islamic groups who want to establish the state of Islam, there are those who get involved and enter the parliaments in order to fix what is in the parliament, and the result is that they become parliamentarians, if that expression is correct. Yes.
The Shaykh : How?
The questioner : There are no parliaments in the Muslim society; there are no parliaments, there is a Shura Council. As for parliaments established on the basis of elections that contradict the saying of Allah, Mighty and Majestic:
(35) Then will We treat the Muslims like the criminals? (36) What is [the matter] with you? How do you judge?
أفنجعل المسلمين كالمجرمين * ما لكم كيف تحكمون
