Msaidizi aliyekabidhiwa madaraka anapaswa kutimiza masharti yale yale yanayohitajika kwa wadhifa wa Khalifah, yaani awe mwanamume, huru, Muislamu, mtu mzima, mwenye akili timamu na mwadilifu. Mbali na hayo, msaidizi huyo anapaswa pia kuwa miongoni mwa watu wenye umahiri katika jambo alilokabidhiwa, kwa kadiri ya majukumu aliyopewa.

The delegated assistant should meet the conditions as those required for the Khalifah’s post, i.e. to be male, free, Muslim, mature, sane and just. In addition to this, the assistant should be from the people of competence in what is assigned to him in terms of duties delegated to him. .

Ushahidi wa masharti haya ni sawa na ushahidi wa masharti ya wadhifa wa Khalifa, kwa sababu kazi ya msaidizi aliyewakilishwa ni sehemu ya utawala; kwa hivyo ni lazima awe mwanamume, kwa kuwa Mjumbe wa Allah ﷺ alisema:

Evidences of these conditions are the same as those of the conditions of the Khalifah post because the work of the delegated assistant is part of ruling; therefore he should be male, for the Messenger of Allah (PBUH) said: .

"Watu wanaomteua mwanamke kusimamia mambo yao hawatafanikiwa kamwe," amepokewa na al-Bukhari kwa wasimulizi wa Abu Bakr. [Bukhari, Sahih. #4425]. Pia ni lazima awe huru, kwa kuwa mtumwa hana mamlaka juu ya mambo yake mwenyewe, hivyo hawezi kusimamia mambo ya watu wengine. Pia anapaswa kuwa mtu mzima, kwa kuwa Mtume wa Allah ﷺ alisema: .

“People who appoint a woman to run their affairs shall never succeed,” narrated by al-Bukhari on the authority of Abu Bakr. [Bukhari, Sahih. #4425]. 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 (S.W.T) said: .

"Aina tatu za watu wameondolewa dhima: aliyelala mpaka aamke, mtoto mpaka afikie umri wa kubalehe, na mwenye wazimu mpaka apone," amesimulia Abu Dawud [Sunan, #4358]. Pia inapasa awe na akili timamu; kwani katika Hadith hiyo hiyo, Mtume wa Allah ﷺ amesema: "Na mwenye wazimu mpaka apone."

“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 Dawud [Sunan, #4358]. He also should be sane; for in the same Hadith, the Messenger of Allah (PBUH) said: “And the insane until he is cured.” .

Na katika hadithi nyingine inasema: "…kuhusu yule ambaye akili yake imezidiwa hadi atakaporejea akili yake."

And in another narration the Hadith States: ‘…about the one whose mind is overpowered until he regains his mind.’.

Msaidizi pia anapaswa kuwa mwadilifu, kwa kuwa Allah (SWT) ameifanya iwe sharti katika ushahidi.

The Mu’awin should also be just, for Allah (S.W.T) has made it a condition in a testimony. .

Yeye ﷺ anasema:. “Na watafuteni mashahidi wawili waadilifu miongoni mwenu” - [TMQ; 65:2] .

He (PBUH) says:. “And seek the witness of two just men from amongst you” - [TMQ; 65:2] .

Kwa kutumia hoja ya kiakili iliyo na nguvu zaidi, sifa ya uadilifu inahitajika pia kwa msaidizi wa Khalifah. Vilevile, Mu’awin (msaidizi) anapaswa kuwa miongoni mwa watu wenye uwezo katika majukumu ya utawala. Hii ni ili aweze kumsaidia Khalifah katika kubeba majukumu ya Khilafah na dhamana ya utawala na mamlaka.

By greater reasoning the quality of being just is required from the assistant of the Khalifah. The Mu’awin should also be from the competent people in the duties of ruling. This is so as to enable him to assist the Khalifah in shouldering the tasks of the Khilafah and the responsibility of rule and authority.
