Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : Do the member elections in the people's councils count?
The Shaykh : How is the election in the popular councils? How is the election in the popular councils?
The questioner : For example, a person runs as a candidate for a specific category or a specific country, and they elect him?
The Shaykh : But they are satisfied with them.
The questioner : For example, two or three people run as candidates; these give to this one, and these give to that one.
The Shaykh : But are the people who ran as candidates their guardians? Did the group that wanted him to be their ruler accept him?
The questioner : No, for example, a candidate comes to the town and says to them, for example, "I will stand up for you, I will demand your rights, and so on and so on."
The Shaykh : He catches them in a net.
The questioner : Then another candidate comes, and so on.
The Shaykh : He says, "I will give you more than that."
The questioner : They become competitors, and then elections are held.
The Shaykh : No, this does not appear to be of the same kind as the Imamate, because this is not independent in execution. However, a person must not involve himself in problems unless he fears that the election will bring in someone who is not qualified.
