Imom (xalifa) uchun shartlar xalifaning shartlari bilan bir xil, ya’ni: erkak bo‘lish, ozod bo‘lish, musulmon bo‘lish, balog‘atga yetgan bo‘lish, aqli joyida bo‘lish, adolatli bo‘lish; va u o‘ziga topshirilgan ishlarni bajarishga qodir kishilardan bo‘lishi kerak.

The conditions for the assistant are the same as the conditions for the Khalifah; in other words, to be male, free, Muslim, adult, sane, just; and he is from the people of the capability in whatever actions were delegated to him.

Bu yerdagi dalil xalifaning dalilidir, shuning uchun u erkak bo'lishi shart, chunki Payg'ambar ﷺ shunday degan.

The evidence here is the evidence for the Khalifah, so it is obligatory for him to be a male due to words of the Prophet (phuh).

. » لَنْ ي فُْلِحَ قَ وْمٌ وَلَّوْا أَمْرَهُمُ امْرَأَة «.

. » لَنْ ي فُْلِحَ قَ وْمٌ وَلَّوْا أَمْرَهُمُ امْرَأَة «.

"Bunday qavm hech qachon muvaffaqiyatga erishmaydi, u o‘z hukmdori qilib ayolni tayinlasa." (Imom al-Buxoriy Abu Bakra roziyallohu anhudan rivoyat qilgan.) U musulmon bo‘lishi kerak, chunki Uning so‘zlari shunday.
