Har bir aqlli, balog'atga yetgan musulmon, erkak yoki ayol, davlat rahbarini saylash va unga bay'at berish huquqiga ega; non-musulmonlar esa bunday huquqqa ega emaslar.

Every sane, adult Muslim, a male or a female, has the right to elect the leader of the State and to give him the pledge of allegiance; while the non-Muslims do not have such right.

Xalifalikning haqiqati har bir musulmonning xalifani saylash va unga bay'at berish huquqiga ega ekanligining dalilidir, chunki bay'at berayotgan aynan musulmonlar ekanligini bildiruvchi rivoyatlar mavjud, ular erkak yoki ayol bo'lishidan qat'i nazar; buni 'Ubada ibn Somit rivoyat qilgan.

The reality of the Khilafah is evidence that every Muslim has the right to elect the Khalifah and to give him the pledge, since there are narrations which indicate that it is the Muslims who give the pledge of allegiance to the Khalifah, irrespective of whether they were male or female; it is narrated by ‘Ubadah b. Samit.

. »... بَايَ عْنَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ « .

. »... بَايَ عْنَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ « .

«Biz Allohning Elchisiga ﷺ bay'at qildik…» deb Imom Buxoriy rivoyat qilgan va Ummu Otiyya aytgan:

“We gave the oath of allegiance to the Messenger of Allah (pbuh)…” reported by Al-Bukhari, and narrated from Um Attiyya who said.

. »... بايعنا رسول الله « .

. »... بايعنا رسول الله « .

“Biz Allohning Elchisi (ﷺ)ga bay'at qilganmiz…” degan so'z ham Al-Bukhoriydan, va Ibn Kasir “Al-Bidaya val-Nihaya” kitobida xabar qilgan voqea ham shunday: ‘Abd al-Rahmon ibn ‘Avf Muslimlarning fikrini olib, kim xalifa bo'lishi kerakligini so'rash vazifasi topshirilganda, u “erkaklar va ayollarning fikrini oldi”, va sahobalardan birortasi ham bunga e'tiroz bildirmadi. Demak, har bir Musulmon, erkak yoki ayol bo'lsin, xalifani saylash va unga bay'at berish huquqiga ega. Kofirlarga esa bu masalalarda hech qanday huquq yo'q, chunki bay'at Kitob va Sunnatga asoslanadi, u esa ularga ishonmaydi; agar ularga ishonganida, u Musulmon bo'lardi.

“We have the oath of allegiance to the Messenger of Allah (pbuh)…” also from Al-Bukhari, and what Ibn Kathir reported in Al-Bidayah Wal-Nihayah when ‘Abd al Rahman b. ‘Auf was appointed to take the opinion of the Muslims as to who should be the Khalifah he said “He took men’s and women’s opinions”, and not one of the companions rebuked him over this. So every Muslim, a male or a female, has the right to elect the Khalifah and to give him the pledge of allegiance. As for the non-Muslims they have no right in these issues since the pledge of allegiance is upon the Book and the Sunnah and he does not believe in either of them, since if he believes in them he would be a Muslim.
