Voting
Question
I'm from India. My question is can we Muslims living in non Muslim country like India can we vote for the democratical leader and can Muslims living in non muslim country such as India form a political party? I mean to ask is, is it right stay politically active in our country?
Answer
It is prudent that you refer to a local mufti for matters pertaining to local Indian conditions.
And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.

Where scholars differ, it’s safer to take the more cautious view.
