Voting

· 22 Rajab 1438 AH1 min readEnglish

Question

Is voting permissible? If I live in Pakistan and I vote for a Muslim who will work for the betterment of the country. If I won't vote, maybe a wrong person comes in charge and can destroy our country.

Answer

We do not have full clarity on this mas'alah. Therefore, we ourselves do not participate.

And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
