What is the ruling on women going out to legislative elections?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The reader: "The third question: What is the ruling on women going out to legislative elections?"
Answer: It is permissible for them to go out, provided they meet the known condition regarding them, which is that they wear the prescribed jilbab (outer garment) and do not mix freely with men. This is the first point. Then, they should elect the one who is closest to the correct scientific methodology, in order to avert the greater harm by committing the lesser harm, as mentioned previously.
