Student Council Elections

Answered as per Hanafi Fiqh by Mahmoodiyah

Question:

Is it permissible, to stand for presidency with a fellow Muslim on a College Student Council?,


Answer:

 

 

If, by standing for presidency on a college student council, your friend would be required to act or pass decisions contrary to the teachings of Shari’ah, then you are not allowed to support such a cause. On the contrary, if there is benefit in holding such a position, in terms of requesting your permissible needs etc. then you are allowed to stand for presidency with your friend.
