TFTD: The month of Muharram heralds an anticipation of change, with election fever gripping the US and Londonstan.
Classical Islamic scholars have forbidden the seeking of posts of ruling and authority, often quoting the hadith "Do not request such posts, as we do not appoint those who request it".
Q: Does that rule out the possibility of organising expensive, high-profile election campaigs like that of Senator Clinton? If not, should candidates benefit from state (or party) funding, or should they fund themselves privately?
