Question: Is it permissible to vote in a non-Muslim country?

Answer: If it is believed that our votes can bring into power someone who will serve the community productively, render benefit to the masses, strive to ensure that people acquire their rights, endeavor to put a stop to injustice and will be benevolent and considerate to the Muslims  then it will be permissible to vote. Otherwise, we would advise that a person abstain from voting. (Adapted from Fatawaa Mahmoodiya V4/ 618)
