Kifungu cha 41.

Article 41.

Khalifa humteua msaidizi mwenye mamlaka ya kumsaidia katika kubeba jukumu la utawala. Humkabidhi jukumu la kusimamia mambo kwa mtazamo wake mwenyewe na ijtihadi yake.

The Khaleefah appoints an assistant delegated with the authority to assist him in undertaking the responsibility of ruling. He deputises to him to manage affairs with his own point of view and ijtihad.

Kifungu cha 42.

Article 42.

Msaidizi aliyewakilishwa lazima awe na sifa zile zile za msingi za Khalifa, nazo ni: awe mwanaume, awe huru, awe Mwislamu, awe amefikia umri wa kubaleghe, awe na akili timamu, na awe ni 'adl (mwaminifu na mwenye uadilifu). Zaidi ya hayo, lazima awe na uwezo katika kazi ambazo amekabidhiwa kuzitekeleza.

The delegated assistant must be qualified with the same essential qualifications of the Khaleefah, viz., male, free, Muslim mature, sane, and 'adl (trustworthy). Additionally he must be competent in the tasks for which he is deputised to undertake.

Kifungu cha 43.

Article 43.

Uteuzi wa msaidizi aliyepewa mamlaka lazima uhusishe wakati huo huo uwakilishi na jukumu la jumla. Hivyo, katika kumteua msaidizi, Khalifah lazima atamke kauli yenye maana ya "Nakuteua kuwa badala yangu kwa niaba yangu" au kauli nyingine yoyote inayotoa uwakilishi na jukumu la jumla. Asipoteuliwa kwa namna hii, huyo msaidizi aliyepewa mamlaka hatakuwa msaidizi aliyepewa mamlaka wala hatakuwa na mamlaka ya msaidizi aliyepewa mamlaka.

The appointment of the delegated assistant must entail both deputation and a general responsibility. Thus, in the appointment of the assistant, the Khaleefah must pronounce a statement to the effect of "I appoint you on my behalf as my deputy" or any other statement that confers both deputation and general responsibility. Unless the delegated assistant is appointed in this manner he would not be a delegated assistant nor hold the authority of a delegated assistant.

Kifungu 44.

Article 44.

Kazi ya msaidizi aliyekabidhiwa madaraka, ili kumtofautisha yeye na Khalifa katika mamlaka yao, ni kumjulisha Khalifa mambo aliyoyasimamia pamoja na uteuzi na majukumu aliyokabidhiwa aliyoyatekeleza. Kwa hiyo, kazi ya msaidizi aliyekabidhiwa madaraka ni kumjulisha Khalifa uchambuzi wake na, isipokuwa Khalifa amzuie, kuutekeleza.

The function of the delegated assistant, so as to distinguish between him and the Khaleefah in his authority, is to inform the Khaleefah of the matters he has managed and the appointments and delegated duties he has implemented. Therefore, the function of the delegated assistant is to inform the Khaleefah of his analysis and, unless the Khaleefah prevents him, to carry it out.

Kifungu cha 45.

Article 45.

Khalifa analazimika kuchunguza vitendo na tabia za msaidizi aliyekabidhiwa madaraka, ili athibitishe lililo sahihi na kurekebisha lililo potofu. Hii ni kwa sababu usimamizi wa mambo ya ummah umekabidhiwa kwa Khalifa, na uko chini ya ijtihad yake mwenyewe.

The Khaleefah has to examine the actions and dispositions of the delegated assistant so as to confirm what is sound and to adjust that which is wrong. This is because the management of the ummah's affairs is entrusted to the Khaleefah and subject to his own ijtihad.

Kifungu cha 46.

Article 46.

Mara baada ya msaidizi aliyekabidhiwa kusimamia jambo kwa idhini ya Khaleefah, ana haki ya kulitekeleza kama ilivyokubaliwa, bila mabadiliko yoyote. Iwapo Khaleefah atabadilisha uamuzi wa jambo hilo na kupinga kile ambacho msaidizi aliyekabidhiwa ameshakitekeleza, mambo yafuatayo yanatumika: Ikiwa Khaleefah amepinga kile ambacho msaidizi aliyekabidhiwa amekitekeleza kuhusu kanuni iliyotekelezwa kwa usahihi, au mfuko uliotumiwa kwa haki, basi uamuzi wa msaidizi aliyekabidhiwa lazima utekelezwe. Hii ni kwa sababu kimsingi ni uamuzi wa Khaleefah mwenyewe, na Khaleefah hapaswi kurekebisha sheria alizozitekeleza wala fedha alizozitumia. Lakini ikiwa msaidizi aliyekabidhiwa ametekeleza jambo jingine, kama vile kumteua wali au kuandaa jeshi, basi Khaleefah ana haki ya kupinga na kubatilisha uamuzi wa msaidizi aliyekabidhiwa. Hii ni kwa sababu Khaleefah ana haki ya kurekebisha maamuzi yake mwenyewe katika hali kama hizo, na hivyo pia yale ya msaidizi aliyekabidhiwa.

Once the delegated assistant has managed a matter with the agreement of the Khaleefah, he has the right to carry it out - as acknowledged - without any alteration. If the Khaleefah revises the matter and objects to what the delegated assistant has executed, the following considerations apply: If the Khaleefah has objected to what the delegated assistant has carried out in regard to a rule implemented soundly, or a fund spent justly, then the view of the delegated assistant must be enacted. This is because it is originally the view of the Khaleefah and the Khaleefah must not redress laws that he has implemented and funds that he has spent. However if the delegated assistant has implemented something else, such as the appointment of a wali or the equipping of the army, then the Khaleefah has the right to object and to overrule the decision of the delegated assistant. This is because the Khaleefah has the right to redress his own decisions in such cases and hence those of the delegated assistant.

Kifungu cha 47.

Article 47.

Msaidizi aliyeteuliwa ana uwakilishi wa jumla, kwa hiyo hapaswi kupewa idara maalum wala aina maalum ya kazi. Anachukua usimamizi wa jumla wa mfumo wa utawala, lakini hashughulikii mambo ya kiutawala.

The delegated assistant has a general deputation and therefore he must not be assigned to specific departments or specific types of action. He undertakes general supervision of the administrative system but not undertakes administrative matters.
