Mataimakin da aka wakilta ya kamata ya cika sharuɗɗan da ake buƙata a cikin Khalifa, watau ya zama namiji, ɗan 'yanci, Musulmi, balagagge, mai hankali, mai adalci, kuma mai cancanta a cikin abin da aka ba shi a matsayin aiki da nauyin da aka wakilta masa.

The delegated assistant should meet the conditions required in the Khaleefah i.e. to be male, free, Muslim, mature, sane, just and cometent in what is assigned to Him in terms of duties delegated to him.

Shaidun waɗannan sharuɗɗan sun zo daidai da shaidun sharuɗɗan matsayin Khaleefah. Saboda haka, mataimakin ya zama namiji, domin Manzon Allah ﷺ ya ce:

Evidences of these conditions are the same as those of the conditions of the Khaleefah post. Therefore, the assistant should be male, for the Messenger of Allah (pbuh) said:

"Mutanen da suka naɗa mace ta tafiyar da al'amuransu ba za su taɓa samun nasara ba." [Al-Bukhari ya ruwaito shi daga Abi Bakra] Haka kuma dole ne ya zama mai 'yanci, domin bawa ba shi da iko a kan al'amuransa, don haka ba zai iya tafiyar da al'amuran wasu mutane ba. Ya kuma zama balagagge, domin Manzon Allah ﷺ ya ce:

“People who appoint a woman to run their affairs shall never succeed.” [Narrated by al-Bukhari on the authority of Abi Bakra] He must also be free, for the slave does not have authority over his own affairs, thus He cannot run other people’s affairs. He should also be mature, for the Messenger of Allah (pbuh) said:

"Mutane uku ba a tambayarsu da alhakin ayyukansu: wanda yake barci har ya farka, da yaro har ya kai ga balaga, da mahaukaci har ya warke." [Abu Dawood ne ya rawaito shi]. Shi ma ya kamata ya zama mai hankali, domin a cikin wannan hadisin, Manzon Allah ﷺ ya ce:

“Three types of people are exempted from accountability, the one who sleeps until He wakes up, a child until He reaches the age of puberty and the insane until He is cured.” [Narrated by Abu Dawood] He also should be sane, for in the same Hadith, the Messenger of Allah (pbuh) said:

"...da kuma mahaukaci har sai Ya warke." A wata riwayar Hadisi kuma cewa yake: "...game da wanda hankalinsa ya rufe har sai ya dawo cikin hankalinsa." Haka nan, Mu'awin ya zama dole ya zama mai adalci, domin Allah (SWT) ya sanya hakan a matsayin sharadi a shaida. Ya ce (SWT):

“...and the insane until He is cured.” In another narration the Hadith states “...about the one whose mind is overpowered until He regains his mind.” Mu’awin should also be just for Allah (swt) has made it a condition in testimony. He (swt) says:

"Bari mutum biyu adilai daga cikinku su bada shaida." [TMQ Al-Baqarah: 282]

“Let two just people from amongst you bear witness.” [TMQ Al-Baqarah: 282]

Saboda haka, akwai ƙarin dalili na buƙatar adalci a cikin mataimakin Khalifa. Haka nan ya kamata Mu'awin ya kasance daga cikin mutane masu cancanta a ayyukan mulki, domin ya iya taimakon Khalifa wajen ɗaukar nauyin ayyukan Khilafah da alhakin mulki da iko.

Therefore, there is more reason to require justice in the assistant of the Khaleefah. The Mu’awin should also be from the competent people in the duties of ruling, in order to be able to assist the Khaleefah in shouldering the tasks of the Khilafah and the responsibility of ruling and authority.
