Presently, a number of limited uncomprehensive [and surprisingly opportunistic] fatawaa regarding the affair of parliamentary elections (being elected or electing) have been distributed amongst the masses. Surprisingly, these fatawaa have been very short in length as the questions that lead to them were also very general and limited. This has lead many of our brothers to accept an affair that has been discussed in abundance amongst the scholars of Ahlus Sunnah, past and present. Yet still, those individuals who have opened the discussion of this affair have failed in sufficiently translating the abundance of speech that is available. For this reason, we would like to present to the respected readership the speech of numerous well-known salafi scholars that is needed to fully understand the issue at hand. Masjidul Bayaan

Sheikh Yahya Al Hajoree on voting and elections No. 48. If someone asks you: What is the ruling on voting and elections? Then say: They are from the democratic laws that seek to destroy Allah's true legislation. They are also considered imitation of the disbelievers, and imitating them is not permissible. There is much harm present in them, and there is niether benefit nor gain for the Muslims (in them). From their most significant harms are: - (They promote) equality between truth and falsehood, and between the truthful people and those upon falsehood, according to and based on the majority (of votes) - Elimination of (the foundations and beliefs of) loyalty and disloyalty - Rupture the unity of the Muslims They bring about: - Hatred - Enmity - Factionism - Fanaticism between the Muslims They also cause: - Deception - Trickery - Fraud - Falsehood They waste time, money, remove the modesty from the female, along with disrupting a Muslim's trust in Islamic knowledge and its people (the scholars) Source: Al Mabadee Al Mufeedah fit Tawheed wal Fiqh wal Aqeedah - Basic Priniciples regarding Tawheed, Islamic Jurisprudence, and Belief- new Arabic print pg. 29 #48 Note: The full translated version of this work can be found on several salafi websites Mustafa George Ruwais, United Arab Emirates

Sheikh Ahmed bin Yahya An Najmee on Voting and Elections Today the Sheikh was asked the following question: Questioner: Oh beloved Sheikh, what is the ruling on Muslims in America taking part in voting and elections, if they feel this will somehow benefit Islam and the Muslims? Sheikh: The system of elections is an innovation and it is not permissible for the Muslims to participate in them alongside the disbelievers. Questioner: The reason for their participation, is that if they support and vote for an individual running for a particular position; even if this person is a disbeliever, this person will in turn give the Muslims land for building schools and masjids. Sheikh: Oh my brother, is it permissible for the Muslims to enter into innovations and join and work with the disbelievers to obtain something that may take place, or may not! This is not correct in my opinion. Date of call: February 27, 2007 Mustafa George Ruwais, United Arab Emirates

SHAYKH SAALIH AL-FAWZAAN ON VOTING Shaykh Saalih al-Fawzaan said:
May Allaah reward the Shaykh for making this issue crystal clear over three and a half years ago. Its a shame to see that instead of clear cut and decisive fataawaa like these being distributed, we see instead the propagation of contextually restricted fataawaa that are for unique and specific circumstances and in which personal ijtihaad is made by some scholars. What more can be intended by the distribution of these fataawaa to thousands of Muslims except giving the message that it is permissible for them in their own localities to engage in elections. People historically who have resorted to actions similar to these are the likes of Salman al-Awdah who used Shaykh al-Albaani's permission for the Algerians to enter into elections as a means of justifying that act in front of the populace in general.

Elections and Voting: Cause of Corruption With the permission of Allaah, the speech of of many of our scholars has been presented to the readership regarding the reality of elections [voting or running in parliamentary/congressional elections]. The speech of scholars such as Ash Shaykh Naasirud Deen Al Albaani, Ash Shaykh Badee'ud deen, Ash Shaykh Muqbil bin Hadee, Ash Shaykh Ubayd Al Jaabiree, Ash Shaykh Ahmad An Najmi has been translated on the evils and corruption that is the end result of democracy. Presented is an example of some corruptive conditions the West forces upon Muslims if they desire to partake in their democratic system, in turn proving that there is more than meets the eye in issues from the "Nawaazil" such as this one. These examples prove that when the scholars are questioned regarding the permissability of such acts [as the lesser of two evils, or other wise], it is not sufficient to ask a general limited question. Specifics must be mentioned, without which the question becomes extremely lacking!

Al Allaamah Shaykh Rabee (hafidhahullah) said with regard to elections and voting: How many violations of the religion are commited by way of elections like showing alliances with atheist parties, communist and innovated parties and (also) what it necessitates in terms of demolishing the principle of allegiance and opposition (for the sake of Allah)? How much money is spent (on elections) and stolen from the Muslims in the the name of Islam? And the Muslims spend it bribing those who will vote for them by lying and falling into sin. How much money is wasted, lives lost, blood shed and ethics lost? All of this and other than this is ignored by Abul Hassan as he puts it [these violations] to waste in the cause of ikhwaan al-muslimoon [the deviated sect that spends the majority of their time in politics]. See his refutation against Abu al Hasan regarding elections footnote No. 16. The following questions were asked to our Shaikh Al Allaamah Yahya ibn Ali Al Hajooree (hafidhahullah) regarding the issue of elections: Question: We hear in our land that a law has been passed (ordering the people) not to delve into the issue of elections and not to explain it to the people. What is your advice to us (regarding this)? Answer: Forbidding the evil is obligatory. It is obligatory to repent from whatever law that is in opposition (to that which is correct). And elections are as impermissible as other major sins that are obligatory (for us) to forbid. And it is not permissible for us to be silent about them to the best of our ability because of what is there in elections from blind following of the disbelievers, splitting of the muslims, igniting enmity and hatred between them and other than this like (causing) harm to ones religion and worldly life. The messenger of Allah (sal Allahu alaiyhi wa sallam) said, "Whosoever amongst you sees an evil, then let him change it with his hand; if ha cannot then with his tong and if he cannot (do even that) then with his heart and that is the weakest of eeman [faith]" - reported by Muslim from the hadeeth of Abi Sa'eed Al-Khudari And the means used for elections are prohibited (as well). Whether (a person) gives them [the people who promote elections] a ride on his car or helps them get a voter's card and registration or other than that - whatever leads to prohibited actions is prohibited (as well). And having said this, there is no problem is forbidding these evils to the best of ones ability by advising the rulers, may Allah grant them success. People should be encouraged to forbid it because the spreading of evil ruins peoples' lives, and ruins their religion and their worldly matters. No one who is upright, has common sense and loves goodness for himself and the muslims would be pleased with it [elections]. And with Allah lies all success. From the tape: Questions from Inner Hadramout - the city of Tareem Question: What is the ruling on one who promotes election campaigns, then proclaims repentance and then returns to it? Answer: It is obligatory to be warned about and warn from elections because: It is a blind imitation of the disbelievers It is from the disbeliever's system of democracy It causes division between the muslims It compromises certain matters of the religion And it has perils which is obligatory for the one knowing its condition to be wary of it and warn against it. And Allah says: {And whosoever does not repent, then such are indeed Zılimın (wrong-doers, etc.)}. (Al-Hujurat 49:11) From the tape: Questions from the people of Radfan dated 9 Rajab, 1422H Question: What is the ruling on women going out and getting voter cards with the knowledge that some of the campaigner's assistants come to houses. They ask the women to apply for a voter's card and if any one from Ahlus Sunnah was to forbid them they say :"This is not against you because there is no free mixing involved here as women approach women to give the cards to women. There is no free mixing." And with the likes of this they cast doubts upon the people. What is your advice - may Allah protect you? Answer: Democracy came to the muslims with trials and from these trials are elections. And it (elections) are not permissible neither for a man nor a woman nor; neither for a Jinn nor a human. And it has perils and evils that none know except Allah. And Ahlus Sunnah have exhausted themselves in warning against this trial acting upon the statement of Allah: {so that those who were to be destroyed (for their rejecting the Faith) might be destroyed after a clear evidence, and those who were to live (i.e. believers) might live after a clear evidence. And surely, Allıh is All-Hearer, All-Knower}. (Al-Anfal 8:42) and His statement: {And ask them about the town that was by the sea, when they transgressed in the matter of the Sabbath (i.e. Saturday): when their fish came to them openly on the Sabbath day, and did not come to them on the day they had no Sabbath. Thus We made a trial of them for they used to rebel. And when a community among them said: "Why do you preach to a people whom Allıh is about to destroy or to punish with a severe torment?" (The preachers) said: "In order to be free from guilt before your Lord (Allıh), and perhaps they may fear Allıh." So when they forgot the remindings that had been given to them, We rescued those who forbade evil.} (Al-A'raf 7:163-165) And some of the needy people from amongst the men and women get deluded by (a small) amount of money. Or they get deceived that if they dont elect then they will not have a position amongst the people [in the community]. And this is a lie. For the Prophet (sal Allahu alaiyhi wa sallam) said, "If you rely upon Allah with a true reliance, he would give you sustenance like he gives the birds sustenance. They leave in the morning empty stomached and return at night full". And he would honour you with a great amount of goodness. Allah says: {And whosoever fears Allıh and keeps his duty to Him, He will make a way for him to get out (from every difficulty). And He will provide him from (sources) he never could imagine. And whosoever puts his trust in Allıh, then He will suffice him.} (At-Talaq 65:2-3) And he says: {And if the people of the towns had believed and had the Taqwı (piety), certainly, We should have opened for them blessings from the heaven and the earth} (Al-Araf:96) And the most elevated One says: {And if only the people of the Scripture (Jews and Christians) had believed and warded off evil (sin, ascribing partners to Allıh) and had become Al*Muttaqın (the pious) We would indeed have blotted out their sins and admitted them to Gardens of pleasure (in Paradise). And if only they had acted according to the Taurıt (Torah), the Injeel (Gospel), and what has (now) been sent down to them from their Lord (the Qur'ın), they would surely have gotten provision from above them and from underneath their feet.} (Al-Ma'idah 5:65-66) And the Exalted one says: {but if they had done what they were told, it would have been better for them, and would have strengthened their (Faith);} (An-Nisa 4:66) So O you Muslims! (This is) a beneficial, valuable advice. Accept it before you feel remorse (at a time when) remorse will not benefit you whether in this world or the next. As Allah says: {Say: "Short is the enjoyment of this world."} (An-Nisa 4:77) Elections are prohibited. It is blind following of the disbelievers and from the branches of democracy. And democracy is prohibited. It is the ruling of the people by themselves without a Book or a Sunnah. And democracy is disbelief. And partisanship (hizbiyyah) is prohibited except for the party of Allah, glorified and exalted is He. From the tape: Questions from Ibb, As-Sayyani district, Wadi Khair village and those around it - recorded on 8th Dhul Hijjah, 1423H excerpts from an email from Abu Fajr Abdul Fataah al Kanadi.

Allamah Badiuddin Shah as-Sindhi rahimahullah on Democracy In this manner, some of our brothers have accepted democracy and have mistaken it for Islaam. It is astonishing how they have accepted a western ideology while being AhleHadeeth. Did the Messenger of Allaah (sallallaahu alaihi wa sallam) give us this ideology, did the rightly guided Khulafaa give us this ideology, or did the four Imaams give us this ideology? Who gave us this ideology? An ideology emerged from Europe and you accepted, you deemed the ideology of the Messenger sallallaahu alaihi wa sallam deficient! Let me ask you one question. Are there any opposing political parties in the Shareeıah. If the government was established for the sake of Allaah, and someone stood in opposition of it, what would become of him? There would be hostility everywhere. Democracy safeguards these hostilities, and this is why evil is given a chance to exist. It is for this reason that these people who are starving for power attempt to win power and fight (amongst each other). Has Islaam not taught you how to run the governments? Did not the Messenger (sallallaahu alaihi wa sallam) establish an Islaamic government within a kingdom of kufr? How did the Messenger (sallallaahu alaihi wa sallam), how did he establish this government? He acted upon the guidance of Allaah and he was successful, Allaah gave him victory, Allaah gave him success. All forces were in opposition to the Messenger (sallallaahu alaihi wa sallam) and they still are; the forces of these selfish maulvis (religious leaders), the forces of saints (peers), and the forces of the wealthy. All of these groups are against each other but are united against the Messenger of Allaah (sallallaahu alaihi wa sallam). The time came when the Messenger (sallallaahu alaihi wa sallam) was given victory, and he announced on the hill of Safaa, ıThere is none worthy of worship except Allaah alone, and He aided His salve, and completed His promise, and He by Himself defeated the forces. This is Islaam, and this is our methodology, and this is our Imaam. How is it that we accept those things that he (sallallaahu alaihi wa sallam) cursed, and we accept the methodology of the enemies of the Messenger (sallallaahu alaihi wa sallam)?? Today, there is a group that claims that they are from the upholders of the religion, and they used to claim at one time that it was impermissible to partake and run in elections. Later, they claimed that all of these things are necessary and permissible if we want to gain power, so they began to partake in all of these things that these worldly (political) parties partake in. The people of the Jamıeeyah (AhleHadeeth) began to walk in their footsteps. This is what taqleed is, acting upon the correct and incorrect actions of your Imaam; they do not separate, take what is correct and what is incorrect, this is the Muqallid. When these people (who partake in elections) received the fatwa that these action are impermissable, none of them objected, even though it is necessary that one of the two is incorrect. An ideology in which an individual who seeks leadership stands in elections, and they divide into groups and parties, and they severely waste the wealth of the Muslims on backbiting and mud-slinging, how can an ideology such as this be correct? So my brothers, this methodology in not found in the Quraan and the Sunnah. The methodology of the Quran and the Sunnah is that of the Khilaafah, where the Muslims have one leader under whose order all are included..." excerpt from here

Shaykh Allaamah 'Abdullaah al-Ghudayaan (hafidhahullah) of the Committee of Major Scholars and the Permanent Committee for Fatwa and Research in Saudi Arabia, was asked a question: Question: 'Shaykh, the same question about mosques here which ascribe themselves to the Sunnah, however we have found from them some matters which are contrary to what our Shaykhs are upon; from them, O our Shaykh, is that they encourage the people to enter into democratic elections; knowing that they encourage the worshippers to vote for a Muslim woman who is a member of a Socialist party. O Shaykh, what is your advice for the people here in Britain? Answer: 'By Allaah, Look, O my brother, you know that the Muslim must have an Islamic personality. He should not have a personality such that he just follows the people. What is required is that when the Muslim acts.. his actions.. the people will say: 'This action is from Islaam'; and my advice is for the Muslims not to enter into these affairs ever! This is from one aspect. And from another aspect; the Hadeeth: "Never will a people prosper who place a woman in charge of their affair." So the suggestion that she should, for example, be like this, no! She should not enter into this, and you should not enter into this, ever. Not at all! This is from another aspect. ------- And the Shaykh, the Allaamah Ubaid al-Jaabiree was informed of the question of the Shaykh, the Allaamah Abdullaah al-Ghudayaan (hafidhahumallaah), so he said: "That is my position also, without any difference". **************************************** **************************************** Shaikh Abdul Muhsin Al Abad - Elections in Iraq ما هي نصيحة شيخنا عبد المحسن العبَّاد البدر ـ حفظه الله ـ لأهل العراق في انتخاباتهم المقبلة؟؟ الحمد لله والصلاة والسلام على رسول الله وعلى آله وصحبه ومن وآلاه: وبعدُ: فقد سُئل شيخنا عبد المحسن بن حمد العبَّاد البدر ـ حفظه الله ـ في ليلة الإثنين الموافق الخامس عشر من شعر ربيع الأول عام 1431هـ في المسجد النبوي في درس سنن ابن ماجه ما يلي: س/ شيخنا حفظكم الله ما رأي فضيلتكم في الانتخابات؟ إذا كان جميع المرشحين من أهل الضلال, وقد يتفاوتون في ضلالهم وعداوتهم, ولكنهم جميعاً يعادون السنَّة وأهلها؟ جـ/ أجاب شيخنا بقوله: أبداً يَبْتَعد عن هؤلاء جميعاً. ملحوظة: هذا الجواب سمعته أيضاً من شيخنا ـ حفظه الله ـ يوم الأحد الموافق 14/ 3/ 1431هـ عند بيته بعد صلاة الظهر لمَّا سُئل شيخنا عن حال إخواننا في العراق والقوائم المرشحة لنفسها من الإخوان المسلمين وأهل الرفض وغيرهم من العلمانيين فأجاب بمثل هذا الجواب وزاد عليه: (( لا يُرشحون أحداً, وكونهم يَسْلَمون هم من تبعات الجميع أولى, و أيضاً يُسلِّمون أنفسهم من الضرر)). http://file9.9q9q.net/Download/34434...-----.mp3.html Source: http://sahab.net/forums/showthread.php?t=376341 Listen and download the audio CLICK HERE ******************************************* ******************************************* Shaykh Muqbil , may Allaah have mercy upon him,said:The one who calls to the permissibility of elections is not salafi rather falsafi Reference: The Questions of the youth of Somalia on Jihaad
