The Khalifah is entitled, once he feels death is approaching him, and a short while before the Khilafah post becomes vacant, to appoint a provisional Amir for looking after the affairs of the Muslims during the period of the election of a new Khalifah. The provisional Khalifah exercises his duty after the death of the Khalifah. His main task is to carry out the appointment of the new Khalifah within three days. .

Halifa na wucin gadi ba shi da ikon kafa sabbin dokoki. Dalili shi ne cewa wannan aiki yana cikin ikon wajibi na Halifa wanda ke da Bai'ah daga Ummah. Ba a yarda ya kasance daga cikin waɗanda aka zaɓa don matsayin Khilafah ba, kuma ba a halatta masa ya goyi bayan wani daga cikinsu ba. Wannan saboda 'Umar (ra) ya naɗa Amir na wucin gadi wanda ba ya cikin waɗanda ya zaɓa don matsayin Halifa ba.

The provisional Khalifah is not entitled to adopt (new) laws. This is because this task is the mandatory power of the Khalifah that has the Bayah from the Ummah. He is not allowed to be from the nominees to the Khilafah post nor is it permitted for him to support any one of them. This is because ‘Umar (ra) appointed a provisional Amir who was not from those that he nominated for the post of Khalifah. .

Ikon wannan Amir na wucin gadi zai ƙare a lokacin da aka naɗa sabon Khalifah, domin aikinsa na ɗan lokaci ne kuma yana iyaka ne ga wannan manufa guda ɗaya. Hujjar cewa Suhaib Amir ne na wucin gadi wanda ‘Umar (ra) ya naɗa ita ce maganar ‘Umar (ra) ga waɗanda aka zaɓa su shida: “Bari Suhaib ya jagorance ku a sallah a cikin waɗannan kwanaki uku da kuke tuntuɓa”. Sannan ya ce wa Suhaib: “Ka jagoranci mutane a sallah waɗannan kwanaki uku,” sannan ya ce, “Idan biyar (daga cikin shidan) sun amince su karɓi mutum ɗaya, alhali ɗaya daga cikin shidan ya ƙi shi, to ka sare kansa da takobi”. Wannan yana nuna cewa an naɗa Suhaib ya zama Amir a kansu. An naɗa shi ya zama Amir a kan sallah, kuma jagorancin sallah yana nuna jagoranci a kan mutane a wancan lokaci. Haka kuma, ya ba shi ikon aiwatar da hukuncin (sare kai), kuma Amir kaɗai ne ke da izinin yin irin wannan aiki.

The authority of such a provisional Amir would expire at the time that the new Khalifah is appointed, because his task is temporary and limited to this single objective. The evidence that Suhaib was a provisional Ameer appointed by ‘Umar (ra) is the saying of ‘Umar (ra) to the six nominees: “Let Suhaib lead you in the prayer during these three days in which you consult”. Then he said to Suhaib: “Lead the people in the prayer these three days,” and then he said, “If five (of the six) agreed and accepted one man, while one (of the six) man rejected him, then strike his head with the sword”. This indicates Suhaib was appointed as an Amir over them. He was appointed an Amir over prayer, where leadership over prayer indicated leadership over the people at that time. Moreover, he gave him the authority of executing the punishment (strike his head), where only the Amir can authorise such an action. .

This matter was conducted before a group of Sahabah, without anyone of them objecting to this. Therefore, this constitutes consensus (ijma’) that the Khalifah is entitled to appoint a provisional Amir that looks after the measures of appointing the new Khalifah. Based on this, the Khalifah is allowed during his life to adopt a clause in the constitution that stipulates that in the case the Khalifah passed away without appointing a provisional Amir, somebody must be appointed as a provisional Amir. Accordingly we adopt here that in the case that the Khalifah did not appoint a provisional Amir nearing the end of his term, then the eldest delegate assistant would become the provisional Amir, unless he was nominated. In that case the next eldest delegate assistant would become the Ameer. If all of the delegate assistants are nominated then this goes on, if necessary, until the eldest executive assistant is appointed as Amir, and so on and so forth. .

Wannan naɗi yana aiki ne idan an cire Khalifah daga matsayinsa. Mai riƙon ƙwarya na Amir zai zama mafi tsufa daga cikin mataimakan wakilai, muddin ba ya cikin waɗanda aka naɗa.

Za a fitar da wata doka a kan waɗannan iko a lokacinta.

This appointment applies in the case that the Khalifah was removed from his post. The provisional Amir would be the eldest delegate assistant as long as he was not from those nominated. If he was from them, then the next eldest one would become the Amir, till the end of these assistants. After them the eldest executive assistant is appointed, and so on as before. If all of them were to nominate themselves then the youngest executive assistant would be obliged to be the provisional Amir. This also applies in the case that the Khalifah fell captive. In this case there should be some details regarding the mandatory powers of the provisional Amir when there is or there is not a chance of rescuing him. A bill will be issued in time regarding these mandatory powers. .

Wannan Amir na wucin gadi ya bambanta da wanda Khalifa yake naɗawa a matsayin mataimakinsa idan ya fita yaƙi (jihadi) ko tafiya. Wannan yana kama da abin da Manzon Allah ﷺ yake yi idan ya fita jihadi ko ya tafi Hajjin bankwana (Hijjatul-Wada') ko makamancin haka. Irin wannan mataimaki zai kasance yana da ikon da Khalifa ya ba shi bisa dole don kula da al'amuran da naɗin nasa ya buƙata.

This provisional Amir is different to the one whom the Khalifah appoints as his deputy when he goes out for jihad or on travel. This is like what the Messenger of Allah (P.B.U.H) used to do when he went out for jihad or he went out on Hijjah al-Wada’ or the like. Such a deputy would have the mandatory powers assigned to him by the Khalifah regarding looking after the affairs required by such an appointment.
