在哈里发职位空缺之后，为了管理穆斯林的事务，并为选举新的哈里发做准备，应依照以下程序任命一位临时领袖：

A temporary leader is appointed to take charge of the affairs of the Muslims, and to prepare for the election of the new Khalifah after the vacation of the position of the Khilafah according to the following process:

a. 当前任哈里发感到自己的生命即将结束，或决意辞职时，他有权指定临时领导人。

a. When the previous Khalifah feels that his life is coming to an end, or is committed to resigning, he has the right to appoint the temporary leader.

b. 若哈里发在任命临时领导者之前去世或辞职，或哈里发职位因其他原因空缺，则由年长的辅臣担任临时领导者；但如果他打算成为哈里发的候选人，则该职位应授予次年长的辅臣，依此类推。

b. If the Khalifah dies or resigns before appointing the temporary leader, or the position of the Khilafah becomes vacant due to another reason, then the eldest of the assistants becomes the temporary leader unless he intended to be a candidate for the Khilafah in which case the next senior assistant is to be given the position and so on.

c. 如果所有助理都打算参选，则由行政部长中资历最长者担任临时领导；如果他也打算参选，则依次由资历排在其后的人担任，以此类推。

c. If all of the assistants intend to be candidates, then the eldest of the executive ministers will become the temporary leader or the one after him in seniority if he intends to be a candidate, and so on.

d. 如果所有行政部长都有意参选哈里发，则临时领导人的职位授予最年轻的行政部长。

d. If all of the executive ministers intend to be candidates for the Khilafah, then the position of the temporary leader is given to the youngest executive minister.

e. 临时领导者无权制定规则。 f. 临时领导者应尽一切努力，在三天之内完成新哈里发的任命；除非出现经麻沙立姆法庭批准的压倒性情况，否则不允许延长此期限。

e. The temporary leader does not have the right to adopt rules. f. The temporary leader makes all effort to complete the appointment of a new Khalifah within three days, and it is not permitted for this to be extended except due to overwhelming circumstances approved by the Madhalim court.

当哈里发感觉自己的死期将近，即将空出哈里发之位的时候，他可以任命一位临时领导者，在采取措施任命新哈里发的期间负责穆斯林的事务。该临时领导者将在哈里发去世后开始履行职责，其主要工作是在三天之内完成新哈里发的任命。

When the Khalifah feels that his death is close, close to the time that the Khilafah would become vacant, he may appoint a temporary leader to be responsible for the Muslims’ affairs during the period of steps being taken to appoint the new Khalifah. He would undertake his work after the death of the Khalifah and his main work would be to complete the appointment of the new Khalifah within three days.

由临时领导人制定规则是不被允许的,因为这是已获得乌玛效忠誓约的哈里发的权利。同样,他也不被允许被提名为哈里发,或支持被提名者,因为欧麦尔(ra)任命的人并非那些被提名为哈里发的人。

It is not permitted for the temporary leader to adopt rules, since this is the right of the Khalifah who has been given a pledge by the Ummah. In the same manner, it is not permitted for him to be nominated for the Khilafah or to support the nominees, since Umar (ra) appointed someone other than those who were nominated for the Khilafah.

这位领袖的责任随着新任哈里发的任命而结束，因为他的任务有时间限制，仅限于这一目标。

The responsibility of this leader ends with the appointment of the new Khalifah since his task was time-constrained to this goal.

这一点的证据是，欧麦尔（ra）遭刺伤时所做的事，而这件事并未遭到任何圣门弟子的反对，因此被视为一项伊制玛尔（Ijma'，公议）。欧麦尔（ra）对六位候选人说：

The evidence for this is what Umar (ra) did when he was stabbed and this was done without any opposition from the companions and so is considered to be an Ijma’. Umar (ra) said to the six candidates.

. » وليصلِّ بكم صهيب هذه الأيام الثلاثة التي تتشاورون فيها « .

. » وليصلِّ بكم صهيب هذه الأيام الثلاثة التي تتشاورون فيها « .

“让苏海卜在你们协商的三天里带领礼拜”，然后他对苏海卜说，如《泰伯里史》所载：……صل بالناس ثلاثة أيام، إلى أن قال: فإن اجتمع خمسة، ورضوا رجلاً، وأبى « »... واحد، فاشدخ رأسه بالسيف ……“带领众人礼拜三天……直到他说：如果五人聚集并同意某人，而其中一人拒绝，那就用剑击碎他的头。”这意味着苏海卜被任命为他们的领导者——他被任命为礼拜的带领者，而带领礼拜意味着对众人的领导。此外，他被赋予了执行刑罚（击碎其头）的权力，而能够确立死刑的只有领导者。

“Let Suhayb lead you in prayers during the three days of your consultation” and then he said to Suhaib, as mentioned in Tarikh Al-Tabari,. .. صل بالناس ثلاثة أيام، إلى أن قال: فإن اجتمع خمسة، ورضوا رجلاً، وأبى « »... واحد، فاشدخ رأسه بالسيف .. “lead the people in prayer for three days ..until he said: if five of them agree upon a man while one disagreed, then strike his head with a sword..”. This means that Suhaib was appointed as a leader over them – he was appointed as a leader for the prayer and leadership of the prayer meant leadership over the people. Also, he was given the right to apply the punishment (strike his head) and the only one who can establish punishment by death is the leader.

这一事件发生在众伴侣面前，且无人提出异议，因此这是一项伊ജ马尔（共识），即哈里发可以任命一位临时领导者，由其负责推动新哈里发的任命。依此类推，哈里发在其在世期间，也可以订立一项条款，规定若他去世时未任命临时领导者以主持新哈里发的任命，则由某人担任临时领导者。

This issue took place in front of the companions without any dissenters and so it is an Ijma’ that the Khalifah can appoint a temporary leader who undertakes the steps to appoint the new Khalifah. In the same manner based upon this it is permitted for the Khalifah during his lifetime to adopt an article which would state that if he died without appointing a temporary leader to oversee the appointment of a new Khalifah, someone is to be the temporary leader.

基于此，可以采用这样的规定：如果哈里发在其临终病重期间没有任命临时领导人，那么临时领导人应由其助手中年龄最长者担任，前提是此人不是候选人；若年龄最长者是候选人，则由助手中年龄次长者担任，依此类推；之后再按同样的方式从执行部长中选出。

Based upon this, it is adopted that if the Khalifah did not appoint a temporary leader during his terminal illness, then the temporary leader would be the eldest of his assistants as long as they are not a candidate, in which case it would be the next senior in age from his assistants, and so on, and then the executive ministers in the same manner.

如果发生罢免哈里发的情况，则适用此规定：临时领导者由年长的助手担任，只要他不是候选人；如果他是候选人，则依次按资历顺序考虑下一位，直到所有助手都已考虑过；在这种情况下，则由年长的执行部长担任，依此类推。如果他们全部都想成为候选人，则由最年轻的执行部长被迫成为临时领导者。

This is applied in the event of the removal of the Khalifah, so the temporary leader would be the eldest assistant as long as he is not a candidate, and if he is a candidate then the next one in seniority and so on until all the assistants are considered, in which case it would then fall to the eldest executive minister and so on. If all of them want to be candidates then the youngest of the executive ministers is compelled to become the temporary leader.

这位领导者不同于哈里发在其外出圣战或旅行时委任代其履职的人，正如先知ﷺ在外出圣战或最后一次朝觐等情况下所做的那样。在这种情形下，被委派代理的人拥有哈里发为其规定的权力，以处理因委派而产生的事务。

This leader is different from the one the Khalifah appoints in his place when he goes out for Jihad or a journey, as the Prophet (phuh) used to do when he went out for Jihad or the final Hajj, or similar. In this situation the one who is delegated in his stead has the powers that the Khalifah defines for him to take care of the affairs necessitated by the delegation.
