Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : ... two or three ... more than six hundred people are running for eighty seats.
The Shaykh: Allah is the Greatest!
The questioner : Your comment, Shaykh, on the matter.
The Shaykh : It is harmful and contrary to the Shari'ah. If the candidates had praised those who want to elect them, that would have been their death.
The questioner: Allahu Akbar.
The Shaykh : The spiritual, legal death, as is known from his saying (peace and blessings be upon him):.
The questioner : So how, Shaykh, are they the ones who praise themselves with themselves?
The Shaykh : This is what I want to get to = -- Peace be upon you, how are you? Good? Praise be to Allah -- = They are certifying themselves in these advertisements; so these are a group of deluded people.
The student : Shaykh, they also commit violations. Some of them place their hand-drawn pictures on the advertisements, and some are, unfortunately, mosque imams and preachers.
The Shaykh : What Allah willed!
The student: Yes.
The Shaykh : What Allah willed.
The student : The one who placed his picture with the banner, the artist drew it.
The Shaykh : Yes, yes.
The student : And he claims to be a preacher, a preacher, and a teacher.
The Shaykh : Allahu Akbar, who is this owner of the picture?
The student : This is a Sufi, this is a burnt one from the group of al-Faqir.
The Shaykh : That is it.
The student: Yes.
The Shaykh : What is his name?
The student : His name is Ahmad Hussein. The strange thing is, Shaykh, I studied at the Islamic Institute for two years, but I was studying the recitations ... meaning this man exaggerates in his love for the Messenger (peace be upon him). He claims to permit seeking nearness to Allah through him and other things, meaning following the way of his Shaykh al-Faqir ... as if he was jealous of him.
The Shaykh: Allah is the Greatest!
The student : ... the people elect them and they harm them.
The Shaykh : Yes, exactly.
The student : This is if he were to do something.
The Shaykh : ... .
The student : A woman in al-Zarqa is running for office, her name is Nadiya Bushnaq.
The Shaykh : What Allah willed, Bushnaq.
The student : She is from the Balkans.
The Shaykh: Yes.
The student: Yes.
The Shaykh : They did not consider it.
The student : She wants to establish a bad practice.
The Shaykh : Yes, there is no power and no strength except with Allah.
The Shaykh: Allah is the Greatest!

The questioner: Allahu Akbar.
The Shaykh : The spiritual, legal death, as is known from his saying (peace and blessings be upon him):
Praise is slaughter, praise is slaughter, praise is slaughter. If one of you must praise his brother, let him say: "I think he is such and such, and Allah is his accountant, and I do not certify anyone before Allah."
المدح هو الذَّبح ، المدح هو الذبح ، المدح هو الذبح ، إن كان أحدكم لا بد مادحًا أخاه فليقل : إني أحسبه كذا وكذا ، والله حسيبه ، ولا أزكِّي على الله أحدًاThe questioner : So how, Shaykh, are they the ones who praise themselves with themselves?
