It is right to give in the cause of God in political change which is the main thing in the cause of God and advancing it and the struggling people: Al-Fuqarāʾ (the poor) – Those who have little or no wealth and cannot meet basic needs. Al-Masākīn (the needy) – Those who have some resources but still fall short of basic necessities (often distinguished from the poor as being slightly better off but still in need). Al-ʿĀmilīna ʿalayhā (those employed to administer Zakat) – Officials or workers appointed to collect, manage, and distribute Zakat funds. Al-Muʾallafati qulūbuhum (those whose hearts are to be reconciled) – Typically new Muslims or those close to embracing Islam, to strengthen their faith or attract others. Fir-riqāb (freeing captives or slaves or paying for diyah) – Redeeming slaves, captives, or prisoners of war. Al-Ghārimīn (those in debt) – People burdened by legitimate debts they cannot repay. Fī sabīlillāh (in the cause of Allah) – Generally understood as efforts in the path of Allah, classically including jihad, but also broader charitable causes such as Islamic knowledge, public welfare, or defence of the faith (interpretations vary slightly among schools of thought). Ibn as-sabīl (the wayfarer/traveler) – A stranded traveller in need, even if wealthy at home.

But obviously i don't mean the politicians who are anti islam or muslims in any way like the republicans and democrats in America for example.
This is a classic example of why we state that "fiqh is dead". Here's a collection of statements from random talib ilm (in no particular order and with no citations being provided): "real-life example of an improper application of maqāṣid to fiqh." "On a very fundamental level, the Prophet ﷺ taught us to 'Leave that which is doubtful for that which is certain.' This fatwa is based on a lot of doubt." "If one really wants to use the category of muallafatul qulub, there are tons of impoverished Americans who, like most of us, are completely done with both parties. They would be extremely inclined towards Islam if we invested just a little in their communities." "Sorry to say it but these are the same ICNA uncles who get excited because occasionally a senator says nice things to them... the idea that anyone is considering using zakah like this AFTER all the Epstein file releases is mind boggling to me." "The Protestant level disdain for the poor necessary to write something like this boggles my mind...." "This is from the dangers of leaving the legal safeguards of the four schools of Sunni Islam, none of which permit such use of zakat." "Playing a game of reverse Robin Hood to protect ourselves behind politicians in an age where politicians are subject to larger interests—far larger than zakat can secure—is the kind of short-sighted, always several steps behind, strategy we’ve come to expect from some of our community leaders." "I never thought I would see the day when Abu Bakr's (RA) fight against the Ridda would be trivialised by comparing it to giving one's 'ibādãt to the most immoral, unethical, and genocidal system in human history." Will provide some addition relevent links in relay/cooment to this note
Your prophet taught you to rape 9 year olds and slaughter the infidel. You don’t have a religion you have a 10k year old war manual of the worst kind.
