行政助理应当是一名穆斯林男子,因为他是哈里发的亲近随从之一。

The excecutive assistant should be a Muslim man, since he is from the close associates of the Khalifah.

执行助理与哈里发直接相关，与授权助理一样，属于哈里发的亲近辅佐人员。他的工作与统治者（哈里发）紧密相连，其工作性质决定了哈里发可能随时在夜间或白天召见他并与其单独会面，而这与女性的情况在伊斯兰教法规定上是不相适宜的。因此，该助理应当是男性。

The executive assistant is directly connected to the Khalifah, like the delegated assistant, and is from the close associates of the Khalifah. His work is attached to the ruler (the Khalifah), and his work necessitates that he could be pursued by the Khalifah and meet with him separately at any time of the night or day, which means that it is not suitable with the circumstances of a woman in terms of the Shari’ah rules. Therefore, the assistant should be a man.

同样地,行政助理不得为非穆斯林,反而必须是穆斯林,因为他是哈里发的亲信之一——依据真主(SWT)的话语:“信道的人们啊!你们不要以异教徒为心腹,他们必不因你们的败坏而罢休,他们希望你们遭难;他们的怨恨,从他们的口中已经流露出来了,他们内心所隐藏的,更为严重。”(古兰经 3:118)。这节经文明确禁止哈里发以非穆斯林为亲信,因此行政助理不得为非穆斯林。反而,由于他与哈里发有直接联系,且他不像受委派的助理那样与哈里发相分离,所以他必须是穆斯林。根据需要和所要求的工作——即在哈里发与他人之间进行沟通——允许设立一名以上的行政助理。

In the same way, it is not permitted for the executive assistant to be a non-Muslim, rather it is obligatory for him to be a Muslim since he is from the close associates of the Khalifah – due to His (swt) words. “O you who have believed, do not take as intimates those other than yourselves, for they will not spare you [any] ruin. They wish you would have hardship. Hatred has already appeared from their mouths, and what their breasts conceal is greater” (TMQ 3:118). The prohibition of the Khalifah taking close associates from non-Muslims is explicit in this verse and ,therefore, it is not permitted for the executive assistant to be a non-Muslim. Rather, it is obligatory for him to be Muslim, due to his direct connection with the Khalifah, and the fact that he is not separate from him, like the delegated assistant. It is permitted to have more than one executive assistant according to the need and the work that is required interfacing between the Khalifah and others.
