He was asked about a letter in which there is a defense of the Shaykh.

The Shaykh : By whom? Yes, yes, very well. May Allah reward you with good. And next time, when you are able to call me on the phone, I will give you the answer after I have reviewed the index I have. Why? No, there is nothing wrong with it. We are upon our Salafi methodology; we do not see belonging to a political party, nor entering into the existing parliaments that are based on contradicting the Shari'ah. The mere system of elections is a defective system from an Islamic perspective, because, as you know, in it the righteous and the wicked, the believer and the disbeliever, put themselves forward as candidates, and perhaps in some countries, the male and the female. And as they say in the lands of Syria, the matter is: "a mixed bag." So the point is, we do not support such elections at all, because they are fundamentally contrary to the system of Islam. This answer is not permissible. It is not permissible.
