9.9 Uteuzi na kuondolewa kwa majaji wa al-Mazalim
9.9 The appointment and dismissal of the judges of al-Mazalim
Hakimu wa Mazalim anateuliwa na Khalifah, au na Qadhi Mkuu. Hii ni kwa sababu Mazalim ni sehemu ya mahakama, kwani wao ni kufikisha hukumu ya Shariah kwa njia ya utekelezaji, na aina zote za majaji lazima ziteuliwe na Khalifah. Hili linathibitishwa na matendo ya Mtume wa Allah ﷺ, kwani yeye ﷺ alikuwa akiwateua majaji. Haya yote ni ushahidi kwamba ni Khalifah anayemteua hakimu wa Mazalim, ingawa Qadhi Mkuu anaweza kumteua hakimu wa Mazalim endapo Khalifah ametoa masharti kwa hilo katika kifungu cha uteuzi wake. Inaruhusiwa kwa mahakama kuu ya dhulma (mahkamat ul-Mathalim) katika kitovu cha Dola kuchunguza tu Mazalim yaliyotokea kutoka kwa Khalifah, wasaidizi wake, na Qadhi Mkuu; ilhali matawi ya mahakama ya dhulma katika wilaya huchunguza Mazalim yanayotokana na wali na wafanyakazi wengine wa Dola. Khalifah ana haki ya kuipa mahakama kuu ya dhulma mamlaka ya kuteua na kumuondoa hakimu wa Mazalim katika mahakama tawi za Mazalim zinazoifuata katika wilaya.
The judge of Mazalim is appointed by the Khalifah, or by the supreme judge. This is because the Mazalim is part of the judiciary, for they are the conveying of the Shariah rule by way of enforcement, and all the types of judges must be appointed by the Khalifah. This is confirmed by the Messenger of Allah's (PBUH) actions, for he (PBUH) used to appoint the judges. All this serves as evidence that it is the Khalifah who appoints the judge of Mazalim, yet the supreme judge could appoint the judge of Mazalim if the Khalifah made provisions for this in his appointment clause. It is allowed for the main court of unjust acts (mahkamat ul-Mathalim) in the centre of the State to examine only the Mazalim that occurred from the Khalifah, his assistants and the supreme judge; whilst the branches of the court of unjust acts in the wilayat examine the Mazalim occurring from the walis and the other State employees. The Khalifah has the right to give the central court of unjust acts the authority of appointment and removal of the Mazalim judges in the branch Mazalim courts that follow it in the wilayat. .
Khalifah ndiye anayemteua na kumwondoa wajumbe wa mahkamat ul-mathalim kuu katikati ya Dola. Kuhusu kumwondoa mkuu wa mahkamat ul-Mazalim kuu, yaani jaji wa Mazalim anayehusika na kuchunguza kuondolewa kwa Khalifah, kwa kanuni inapaswa kuwa haki ya Khalifah kumwondoa, kwa kuwa yeye ndiye mwenye haki ya kumteua, kama ilivyo kwa majaji wote. Hata hivyo, iwapo mamlaka ya kumwondoa jaji yataachwa kwa Khalifah wakati wa kesi, basi mamlaka hayo yanaweza kupelekea haramu. Katika hali kama hiyo kanuni ya "njia inayoongoza kwenye haramu ni haramu" itatumika. Uwezekano mkubwa wa hali kama hiyo kutokea unatosha kutumia kanuni hii.
The Khalifah is the one that appoints and removes the members of the main mahkamat ul-mathalim in the centre of the State. As for the removal of the head of the central mahkamat ul-Mazalim, i.e. the Mazalim judge responsible in examining the removal of the Khalifah, it should in principle be the right of the Khalifah to remove him, as it is he who has the right to appoint him like all the judges. However, it is possible, if the power of removing the judge were left to the Khalifah during a case, then this power would lead to haram. In such a situation the principle of "the means that leads to haram is haram" would apply. The strong likelihood of such a scenario arising is enough for applying this principle. .
Kesi hii inamaanisha kwamba kesi inapowasilishwa dhidi ya Khalifah au wasaidizi wake au jaji wake mkuu (endapo Khalifah amepewa mamlaka ya lazima ya kumteua na kumwondoa jaji wa Mazalim). Hii ni kwa sababu kubakisha mamlaka ya lazima ya kumwondoa jaji wa Mazalim mikononi mwa Khalifah katika kesi hii kungeathiri hukumu itakayotolewa na jaji; na hivyo kungepunguza uwezo wa jaji wa kumwondoa Khalifah au wasaidizi wake pale itakapoonekana ni lazima. Mamlaka hii ya lazima ya kumwondoa jaji katika kesi hii ni njia ya haramu, yaani, kuyashika mikononi mwa Khalifah katika kesi hii ni haramu.
This case means when a case is raised against the Khalifah or his assistants or his supreme judge (in case the Khalifah was given the mandatory power of appointing and removing the Mazalim judge). This is because keeping the mandatory power of removing the Mazalim judge in the hands of the Khalifah in this case would influence the verdict by the judge; and accordingly it would limit the capability of the judge to remove the Khalifah or his assistants if deemed necessary. This mandatory power of removing the judge in this case is a means for haram, i.e. keeping it in the hand of the Khalifah in this case is haram. .
Kwa kesi zilizobaki, kanuni inabaki kama ilivyo, yaani mamlaka ya kumwondoa hakimu wa Mazalim yamebaki mikononi mwa Khalifah, kama vile mamlaka ya kumteua.
As for the remaining cases, the rule remains as it is, i.e. the power of removing the Mazalim judge is left to the Khalifah just like his appointment.
