Is it permissible to vote in elections in a non-Muslim country

Answer

Voting in non-Muslim countries is a somewhat technical issue whose details cannot be effectively covered on a platform of this sort. If voting is permissible at all, the central principle ought to be reducing harm and maximising benefit. The broader question cannot be answered based solely on a single policy issue, when so many other economic, social, judicial, civil, military, and foreign policies of the constitution are also fundamentally un-Islamic -- this is the underlying problem of living in non-Muslim societies: whichever way one votes, it leads to the implementation of a law other than the law of Allah. This becomes more complicated when a single policy intersects with the broader harm/benefit calculus of intertwined, globalised politics. That said, there is no room in Islam for the legitimisation of LGBT rights. *And Allah knows best.*
