Dalam perkara yang telah disebutkan terdahulu, kami telah menjelaskan dalil-dalil bagi bai'ah sebagai kaedah yang disyariatkan untuk melantik seorang Khalifah dalam Islam. Adapun pelaksanaannya secara praktikal, ia dilakukan melalui berjabat tangan serta dengan tulisan. Telah diriwayatkan daripada Abdullah bin Dinar bahawa: "Aku menyaksikan Ibn 'Umar ketika orang ramai bersepakat ke atas Abdul Malik bin Marwan, lalu beliau berkata: "Aku menulis di sini bahawa aku bersetuju untuk mendengar dan taat kepada Abdullah Abdul Malik, Amir orang-orang beriman, menurut Kitab Allah dan Sunnah Rasul-Nya ﷺ, dan sekadar kemampuanku."" Bai'ah juga boleh diberikan melalui sebarang cara lain.

In the aforementioned we have explained the evidences for the bayah as the prescribed method of electing a Khaleefah in Islam. Regarding its practical implementation, it is through shaking the hand as well as by writing. It has been narrated by Abdullah ibn Dinar that: "I witnessed Ibn ‘Umar when people agreed on Abdul Malik ibn Marwan saying: "I write herewith that I agree to hear and obey Abdullah Abdul Malik, the Amir of the believers, according to the Book of Allah and the Sunnah of His Messenger, and to the best of my ability."” The bayah can also be given by any other means. .

Bai'ah hanya boleh diberikan oleh orang dewasa kerana bai'ah kanak-kanak tidak sah. Abu Aqil Zahrah Ibn Ma‘bad meriwayatkan daripada datuknya Abdullah Ibn Hisham, yang hidup pada zaman Rasulullah ﷺ, bahawa ibunya Zainab Ibnatu Hamid membawanya kepada Rasulullah ﷺ lalu berkata: "Wahai Rasulullah, ambillah bai'ah daripadanya." Maka Rasulullah ﷺ bersabda: "Dia masih kecil." Baginda ﷺ kemudian menyapu kepalanya dan mendoakannya, sebagaimana diriwayatkan oleh al-Bukhari [Sahih, #7210].

The bayah should only be given by an adult as the bayah of the minor is not valid. Abu Aqil Zahrah Ibn Ma‘bad reported on the authority of his grand- father Abdullah Ibn Hisham who lived during the time of the Messenger of Allah (P.B.U.H) that his mother Zainab Ibnatu Hamid took him to the Messenger of Allah (P.B.U.H) and said: . “O Messenger of Allah, take a bay’ah from him.” Upon this the Messenger of Allah (P.B.U.H) said: "He is young." He (P.B.U.H) wiped over his head and prayed for him, as narrated by al-Bukhari [Sahih, #7210]. .

Mengenai lafaz Bai'ah, ia tidak terhad kepada lafaz tertentu, tetapi hendaklah mengandungi komitmen bahawa Khalifah bertindak menurut Kitab Allah dan Sunnah Rasul-Nya ﷺ; dan orang yang memberi Bai'ah hendaklah berikrar untuk taat dalam keadaan senang dan susah, dalam perkara yang disukai dan yang tidak disukai. Satu undang-undang akan diterbitkan yang akan menentukan lafaz ini selaras dengan perkara-perkara di atas.

As for the wording of the Bayah, it is not restricted to any specific wording, but it should include the commitment that the Khalifah acts according to the Book of Allah and the Sunnah of His Messenger; and that the person who gives the Bayah should pledge to obey in good and bad and in ease and hardship. A law will be published that will determine this wording in accordance with the previous points. .

Apabila Bai'ah telah diberikan kepada Khalifah, maka Bai'ah itu menjadi amanah di leher orang yang memberikan Bai'ah, dan dia tidak dibenarkan menarik balik Bai'ah itu. Ini kerana ia adalah haknya (kaum Muslimin) dalam hal melantik Khalifah sehingga dia memberikannya. Tetapi apabila dia telah memberikannya, dia tidak dibenarkan menarik balik. Walaupun dia mahu berbuat demikian, dia tidak dibenarkan menarik balik Bai'ahnya. Al-Bukhari meriwayatkan daripada Jabir bin Abdullah (semoga Allah meredai mereka berdua) bahawa seorang Badwi telah memberikan bai'ah kepada Rasulullah ﷺ atas Islam, tetapi dia jatuh sakit, lalu dia berkata: "Lepaskanlah aku daripada bai'ahku," maka Rasulullah ﷺ menolak. Kemudian dia datang dan berkata perkara yang sama, tetapi Rasulullah ﷺ tetap menolak. Lalu dia meninggalkan kota itu. Rasulullah ﷺ bersabda: "Kota itu seperti alat peniup dapur (atau relau), ia membuang kotorannya (membersihkannya), dan kebaikannya (keharumannya) menyerlah (bersinar)." [Bukhari, Sahih, #7209] Muslim juga meriwayatkan daripada Nafi' daripada Abdullah bin 'Umar bahawa beliau mendengar Rasulullah ﷺ bersabda: .

Once the Bayah is given to the Khalifah, then the Bayah becomes a trust on the neck of the one who gave the Bayah, where he is not allowed to withdraw it. For it is his right (of the Muslim) in terms of appointing the Khalifah till he gives it. But once he gave it, he is not allowed to withdraw it. Even if he wanted to do so, he is not permitted to withdraw his bayah. Al Bukhari narrated from Jabir ibn Abdullah (may Allah be pleased with them) that a Bedouin gave the bayah to the Messenger of Allah (P.B.U.H) on Islam, but he became unwell, so he said: . "Relieve me of my bayah", the Messenger of Allah (P.B.U.H) refused. Then he came and said the same, but the Messenger (P.B.U.H) rejected. So he left the town. The Messenger of Allah (P.B.U.H) said: "The town is like the mason’s bellow (or furnace), it gets rid of (cleans) its impurity, and its goodness (scent) manifests (shines)". .[Bukhari, Sahih, #7209] Muslim also narrated from Nafi’ on the authority of Abdullah ibn ‘Umar that he heard the Messenger of Allah (P.B.U.H) say: .

"Sesiapa yang menarik tangannya daripada ketaatan, dia akan menemui Allah pada hari kiamat tanpa memiliki hujah bagi dirinya." [Muslim, Sahih, #1851]..

"Whoever withdraws a hand from obedience, he would meet Allah on the day of judgement without having proof for himself" [Muslim, Sahih, #1851]..

Memutuskan bai'ah kepada Khalifah adalah menarik tangan dari ketaatan kepada Allah. Namun, ini berlaku jika bai'ahnya kepada Khalifah adalah bai'ah akad, atau bai'ah ketaatan kepada seorang Khalifah yang telah diterima dan dikukuhkan oleh kaum Muslimin. Tetapi jika dia pada mulanya membaiat dirinya kepada seorang Khalifah, dan bai'ah itu belum sempurna baginya (dari pihak kaum Muslimin), maka dia berhak untuk melepaskan dirinya dari bai'ah tersebut, memandangkan bai'ah akad belum disempurnakan baginya oleh kaum Muslimin. Maka larangan dalam hadith itu tertumpu kepada menarik balik bai'ah kepada seorang Khalifah, bukan kepada seorang lelaki yang akad Khilafahnya belum disempurnakan.

Breaking the bayah to the Khalifah is a withdrawal of the hand from the obedience to Allah. However, this is the case if his bayah to the Khalifah was a bayah of contract, or a bayah of obedience to a Khalifah was accepted and pledged by the Muslims. But if he pledged himself to a Khalifah initially, and the bayah was not completed to him (by the Muslim), then he has the right to relieve himself from that bayah, in view of the fact that the contracting bayah has not been concluded to him from the Muslims. So the prohibition in the hadith is focused on withdrawing a bayah to a Khalifah, not to a man for whom the Khilafah contract was not completed. .
