[Bilal Mahmud المكافح المخلص]

Friend -- Asalaamu Alaikum Have you heard these questions at your mosque or in posts on Facebook this year: Is voting halal? what about voting for the lesser of two evils?  Our founder, Ahmed Bedier, has been asked that question so many times in the last few weeks that he decided to look-up and compile what Islamic scholars have to say about this subject. The bottom line, the scholars say voting is not only halal, but many say it's an obligation and even voting for the "lesser evil" is recommended.  Click here to read it yourself, and forward this email to your friends, family and community to let them know. TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 6TH IS GENERAL ELECTION DAY NATIONWIDE Click here to find your voting precinct Voting is our duty both as Americans and Muslims. But more importantly, it’s our right. It’s our right to elect people who represent our interests, not only as individuals but also as a community. We simply can’t afford to stay at home this election – especially not while an extreme, hateful vocal group is turning out to the polls and threatening to take the reins of our government.
