Idara ya Mambo ya Nje ina jukumu la masuala yote yanayohusiana na uhusiano wa dola ya Khilafah na nchi za kigeni, iwe ni kwa upande wa kisiasa, au kiuchumi, kiviwanda, kilimo na kibiashara, au mawasiliano ya posta, nyaya na pasiwaya, na kadhalika.

The Department of Foreign Affairs is in charge of all the affairs connected to the relations of the Khilafah state with the foreign states, whether from the political angle, or economic, industrial, agricultural and trade aspects, or postal, cable and wireless connections and so on.

Idara ya Mambo ya Nje inachukua jukumu la mambo yote ya nje, yanayohusu uhusiano wa Dola ya Khilafah na nchi za kigeni, bila kujali mambo haya na mahusiano haya ni nini, iwe yanahusiana na upande wa kisiasa na yanayojumuisha, kama vile kuunda mikataba, mikataba ya amani, usitishaji wa mapigano, mazungumzo, kuteua mabalozi, kutuma Wajumbe na wawakilishi, na kuanzisha ubalozi na balozi ndogo, au mahusiano yanayohusiana na mambo ya kiuchumi, kilimo au biashara, pamoja na mawasiliano ya posta au mawasiliano ya waya na yasiyo na waya, na kadhalika. Mambo haya yote yanaendeshwa na Idara ya Mambo ya Nje, kwa sababu yanahusu uhusiano wa Dola ya Khilafah na dola nyingine.

The Foreign Affairs Department undertakes the responsibility of all foreign affairs, pertaining to the relation of the Khilafah State with foreign states, whatever these affairs and relations may be, whether they are related to the political aspect and what it entails in the forming of pacts, peace treaties, ceasefires, negotiations, appointing ambassadors, sending Messengers and delegates, and establishing embassies and consulates, or relations that are related to matters that are economic, agricultural or are to do with trade, as well as postal communications or wire and wireless communications and so on. All of these matters are run by the Foreign Affairs Department, because they are concerned with the relations of the Khilafah State with other States.

Mjumbe (Mtume ﷺ) alikuwa akiweka mahusiano ya kidiplomasia na nchi na mamlaka nyingine, kama ilivyoelezwa katika sehemu inayohusu msaidizi mtendaji. Alimtuma 'Uthman b. 'Affan (ra) kwenda kufanya mazungumzo na Quraysh, kama alivyokuwa akifanya mazungumzo na wajumbe wa Quraysh. Alituma wajumbe kwa wafalme, na alikuwa akiwapokea wajumbe wa wafalme na Amiri, na kuhitimisha mikataba na makubaliano ya amani. Vivyo hivyo, Makhalifa wake ﷺ walikuwa wakiweka mahusiano ya kisiasa na nchi na mamlaka nyingine. Walikuwa wakiwateua watu wa kutekeleza vitendo hivyo kwa niaba yao, kwa msingi kwamba kitendo chochote ambacho mtu anaweza kukitekeleza mwenyewe, anaweza kukikabidhi kwa mtu mwingine iliakitekeleze kwa niaba yake.

The Messenger (pbuh) used to establish foreign relations with other states and entities, as was explained in the section regarding the executive assistant. He (pbuh) sent ‘Uthman b. ‘Affan (ra) to negotiate with Quraysh just as he (pbuh) negotiated with the delegates of Quraysh. He (pbuh) sent delegates to the kings and he (pbuh) received the delegates of kings and Amirs and concluded pacts and peace treaties. Similarly, his (pbuh) Khulafaa’ used to establish political relations with other states and entities. They would appoint people to carry these actions out on their behalf, on the basis that whatever action a person can perform by himself, he can delegate it to some other person to carry it out on his behalf.

Kwa sababu ya changamoto za maisha ya kimataifa, pamoja na upana na utofauti wa mahusiano ya kisiasa ya kimataifa, tunapitisha kwamba Khalifah amkabidhi taasisi maalum ndani ya dola inayoshughulikia mahusiano ya kimataifa, ambapo Khalifah anaifuatilia kazi yake kama anavyofanya kwa taasisi nyingine yoyote ya kutawala na kusimamia ndani ya dola, iwe moja kwa moja au kupitia msaidizi mkuu wa utendaji, kwa mujibu wa hukumu husika za Shari'ah.

Due to the complications of international life, and the vastness and variety of international political relations, we adopt that the Khalifah should delegate an institution within the state specific to the international relations where the Khalifah follows its work as he does with any other ruling and administrative institutions in the state, whether directly or through the executive assistant, in accordance with the related Shari’ah rules.
