第二十四条

Article 24.

哈里发由乌玛授权，以执行神圣的法律。

The Khaleefah is deputised by the Ummah with authority for the enactment of the divine law.

第25条

Article 25.

哈里发制度是一种提名与接受的契约。任何人都没有义务接受它，也没有人有义务提名某个特定的人担任它。

Khilafah is a contract of nomination and acceptance. No-one is obliged to accept it and no-one is obliged to nominate a particular person for it.

第二十六条

Article 26.

每一位成年、神智健全的穆斯林男性和女性，都有权参与哈里发的选举并向他宣誓效忠（巴伊阿）。非穆斯林在这方面没有任何权利。

Every mature male and female Muslim, who is sane, has the right to participate in the election of the Khaleefah and in giving him the pledge (ba’iah). Non-Muslims have no right in this regard.

第二十七条

Article 27.

一旦哈里发的契约通过合法缔结效忠誓约（ba'iah）的人们对某人缔结，其余人的效忠誓约便是服从的效忠誓约，而非缔约。因此，那些可能违抗或叛乱的人，有义务给予效忠誓约。

Once the contract of the Khilafah has been concluded on a person through the ba’iah of those by whom the ba’iah is legitimately concluded, the ba’iah of the remaining people is a ba’iah of obedience and not contract. Consequently, those who might disobey or rebel are obliged to give ba’iah.

第二十八条

Article 28.

没有人能够在未经穆斯林任命的情况下成为哈里发。除非依照伊斯兰教的规定合法地将哈里发权力授予他，否则任何人都不能掌握哈里发的权力，这与伊斯兰教中的任何契约都是一样的道理。

Nobody can become Khaleefah without being appointed by the Muslims. Nobody can hold the power of the Khilafah unless it is convened to him legitimately, as is the case with any contract in Islam.

第29条

Article 29.

任何国家若想向哈里发给予契约性的效忠（Bai'ah），其权威（Sultan）必须是自主的，只依靠穆斯林，而不依赖任何卡菲尔国家。该国穆斯林在内部与外部的安全，必须由伊斯兰的力量来保障，而不是由库夫尔（Kufr）来保障。至于服从性的效忠（Bai'ah），则可以从其他任何国家取得，而无需这些条件。

Any country which wishes to give the Khaleefah the ba’iah of contract, her sultan (authority) must be self-acting , that depends on muslims only and not on any kafir state. The security of the Muslims in that country, both internally and externally, must be maintained by the security of Islam and not kufr. As for the ba’iah of obedience only it can be taken from any other country without such conditions.

第30条

Article 30.

被授予哈里发宣誓效忠（ba'iah）的人，只需满足缔约条件即可，即使他没有满足优先条件，因为重要的是缔约条件。

The individual who is given the ba’iah for Khilafah need only to fulfill the contracting conditions, even if he did not fulfill the preference conditions, because what is essential is the conditions of contracting.

第三十一条

Article 31.

哈里发需具备七个条件，哈里发职位才能合法地授予他。这些条件是：男性、穆斯林、自由人、成年人、神志健全、公正可信（'adl），以及有能力胜任该职位。

There are seven conditions needed in the Khaleefah so as Khilafah be contracted to him. They are to be a male, muslim, free, mature, sane, 'adl (trustworthy) and competent (capable for the post).

第32条：如果哈里发一职因死亡、辞职或罢免而空缺，则必须在职位空缺之日起三天之内（含当日及其夜晚）任命新的哈里发。

Article 32. If the post of the Khaleefah becomes vacant, due to death, resignation or dismissal of the appointment of a new Khaleefah must take place within three days including their nights of the date when it became vacant.

第33条

Article 33.

哈里发的任命应当按照以下方式进行：

The Khilafah is to be appointed in the following manner:

a. 穆斯林议会成员对该职位的候选人进行初选。随后公布他们的名单，并请穆斯林从中选出一人。

a. The Muslim members of the Majlis al-Ummah short-list the candidates for that post. Their names are subsequently announced and the Muslims are asked to elect one person from them.

b. 选举结果公布，并应向穆斯林宣布获得多数选票的人选。

b. The result of the election is announced and the person who has attained the majority of the votes is to be announced to the Muslims.

c. 穆斯林必须迅速向获得多数选票、被推举为穆斯林哈里发的人宣誓效忠（bay‘ah），条件是遵循《古兰经》和安拉的使者（愿安拉赐福他并赐予平安）的sunnah。 Note on the translation: the original writes "(saw)" after the Prophet's title, so I rendered it as the Chinese honorific "愿安拉赐福他并赐予平安" followed by ﷺ, per the rules.

c. The Muslims must hasten to give ba’iah to the one who has attained the majority of votes as a Khaleefah for muslims , on the condition of following the Qur'an and the Sunnah of Rasool Allah (saw) .

d. 一旦宣誓效忠（bai‘ah）完成，便向民众宣布成为哈里发之人的姓名，并声明他具备担任哈里发职位所需的全部契约条件，使其就任的消息传达到整个乌玛（Ummah）。

d. Once the ba’iah has been accomplished, the name of the man who has become the Khaleefah along with a statement that he is qualified with all the agreement conditions necessary for holding the office of Khilafah is announced to the people so that the news of his appointment reaches the entire Ummah.

第34条

Article 34.

乌玛是任命哈里发的权威，但在其依法获得缔约宣誓（ba'iah）之后，她无权罢免他。

The Ummah is the authority to appoint the Khaleefah but she has no right to dismiss him after he has legitimately attained the ba’iah of contracting.

第35条

Article 35.

哈里发即国家。他拥有国家的一切权力与职能；因此他拥有以下权力：

The Khaleefah is the State. He possesses all the powers/function of the state; so he possesses the following powers:

哈里发将已采纳的伊斯兰教法律条文（Ahkam Shar'iyyah）制定为法律，因此它们成为必须遵守、不可违反的准则。

a. The Khaleefah puts the AHkam Shara’iah, once he adopted them, into law, and as such they become canons that must be obeyed and not violated.

b. 哈里发负责国家的内政与外交政策。他掌管军队的领导权，并有权宣战、缔结和约、停战协定及条约。

b. The Khaleefah is responsible for both the internal and external policies of the State. He takes charge of the leadership of the army and has the right to declare war, conclude peace, armistice, and treaties.

c. 哈里发有权接受和拒绝外国使节，也有权任命和罢免穆斯林使节。

c. The Khaleefah has the authority to accept and reject foreign ambassadors, and to appoint and dismiss Muslim ambassadors.

d. 哈里发任命和罢免助手（mâawin）和总督（wulah）。助手和总督既要对哈里发负责，也要对乌玛议会（Majlis al-Ummah）负责。 e. 哈里发任命和罢免首席法官、各部门主管、武装部队首长和将军；他们都只对哈里发负责，而不对乌玛议会负责。

d. The Khaleefah appoints and dismisses the assistants (mâawin) and the governors (wulah). The assistants and governors are responsible to the Khaleefah as well as to Majlis al-Ummah. e. The Khaleefah appoints and dismisses the chief judge, the directors of departments, the heads of the armed forces and the generals; all of whom are responsible to the Khaleefah and not to the Majlis al-Ummah.

f. 哈利法采纳伊斯兰教法规定的各项条例，国家预算依据这些条例制定。哈利法决定预算的各个部分，以及每个领域所需的资金，无论这些涉及的是收入还是支出。

f. The Khaleefah adopts the AHkam Shara’iah by which the State's budget is set. The Khaleefah decides its sections and the funds required for every field, whether they are related to revenue or expenditure.

第三十六条

Article 36.

哈里发在采纳律例方面受到《伊斯兰教法律例》的约束。他不得采纳任何并非从经文中正确推导出来的律例。他受限于自己所采纳的律例以及他所选择的推导方法。因此，他不得采纳通过与其所采纳的方法相矛盾的方法推导出的律例，也不得颁布与其所采纳的律例相抵触的任何命令。

The Khaleefah is restricted in what he adopts by the AHkam Shara’iah. He is forbidden to adopt any rule that is not soundly deduced from the divine texts. He is restricted to the rules he has adopted and to the method for deduction that he has chosen. Accordingly, he is prevented from adopting a rule deduced by a method that contradicts the method he has adopted, and he must not enact any command that contradicts the rules he has adopted.

第37条

Article 37.

哈里发拥有绝对的权利，可以根据自己的伊ijtihad（独立判断）来处理公民事务，因此他有权在各种mubah（允许）的事务中，采取任何他认为有助于管理国家事务、照料公民利益的措施。然而，他不得以公益为名而违背一项Hukm shara'i（沙里亚律法规定）。例如，他不能以食品短缺为借口，阻止一个家庭生育一个以上的孩子；也不能以防止剥削为借口而规定价格；或以照管事务或公益为由，任命一名异教徒或一名女性为wali（监护人），也不能采取任何与沙里亚规则相悖的做法。哈里发绝不可禁止任何合法之物，也不可允许任何非法之事。

The Khaleefah has the absolute right to conduct the citizens affairs according to his ijtihad, so he has the right to adopt of the mubah matters anything he wants to run the State affairs and to look after the affairs of the citizens. However, he is not allowed to disagree with a Hukm shara'i under the name of interest. For example; he cannot prevent a family from having more than one child under the pretext of the shortage in food-stuffs. Nor can he fix prices on the pretext of preventing exploitation; or appoint a kafir or a woman as a wali on the pretext of caring for affairs or the interest, nor anything that disagrees with shar’a rules. The Khaleefah must not forbid any halal thing or allow any haram thing.

第38条

Article 38.

哈里发的任期没有时间限制。只要他遵守伊斯兰教法（shar'a），执行其规定，并且能够管理国家事务，他就继续担任哈里发，除非其情况发生变化，致使他被解除哈里发职务。一旦出现此类情况，他应立即被罢免。

There is no limitation on the Khaleefah's period in office. So as long as he abides by the shar’a, implements its rules and is able to manage the State's affairs, he continues as a Khaleefah unless his situation changes in such a way as to discharge him from the office of Khilafah. He is to be dismissed immediately, once such situation occured.

第39条

Article 39.

有三件事会使哈里发的处境发生变化，哈里发也因此被免去哈里发之职。它们是：

There are three matters by which the situation of the Khaleefah changes, and by such he is discharged from the office of Khilafah. They are:

a. 如果哈里发契约的某项必备条件失效，例如背离伊斯兰教、精神失常、明显的罪恶行为（fisq）等类似情况。这是因为这些条件既是哈里发契约成立的前提，也是其持续有效的前提。

a. If one of the qualifying conditions of the Khilafah contract becomes void, such as apostatising from Islam, insanity or manifest sinfulness (fisq) and the like. This is because these are conditions for contracting the Khilafah and for its continuity.

b. 他无法承担哈里发职位的责任，无论出于何种原因。

b. His inability to undertake the responsibilities of the Khilafah post, for any reason.

c. 在受制（sub-dual）的情况下，即哈里发无法依照伊斯兰教法凭自己的见解处理穆斯林的事务。如果哈里发被某种力量所制约，以至于他无法仅凭自己依照伊斯兰教法的规定管理公民事务，那么他被视为在合法意义上无力履行国家职能，因此他不再是哈里发。这种情况可能出现在两种境况下。它们是：第一，当哈里发身边的一人或多人对事务的管理实施控制时。如果哈里发有可能摆脱他们的支配，则给予其一段规定时间的警告；此后，若他仍未能摆脱他们的支配，则必须将其罢免。如果看来哈里发没有任何可能摆脱他们的支配，则应立即将其罢免。

c. In the event of sub-dual, whereby the Khaleefah is rendered unable to conduct the affairs of the Muslims by his own opinion according to the shar’a. If the Khaleefah is subdued by any force to an extent that he is unable to manage the citizens affairs by his own opinion alone according to the rules of shar’a, he is considered to be legitimately incapable of undertaking the functions of the state, and thus he ceases to be a Khaleefah. This situation may arise under two circumstances. They are: First. When one, or more, of the Khaleefah's entourage exerts control over the management of affairs. If there is a chance that the Khaleefah could rid himself of their dominance he is cautioned for a specified period of time, after which, if he fails to rid himself of their dominance, he must be dismissed. If it appears that there is no chance of the Khaleefah freeing himself from their dominance, he is to be dismissed immediately.

其次,如果哈里发被一个占据优势的敌人俘虏,无论他是真的被俘,还是处于其控制之下,都应当审视此时的情况。如果有机会营救哈里发,便给予一段时间,直到显然已无希望营救他,之后即将其罢免。如果从一开始就显然没有营救他的希望,则应当立即将其罢免。

Second. Should the Khaleefah be captured by a subduing enemy, whether he is actually captured or under its influence. In this case the situation is to be examined; if there is a chance to rescue the Khaleefah, he is given a period of time until it appears that there is no hope to rescue him, after which he is dismissed. Should it appear from the outset that there is no hope of rescuing him, he is to be dismissed immediately.

第四十条

Article 40.

确定哈里发的情况是否已发生变化、从而有理由将其罢免，这一责任属于不公事务法庭（mahkumat ul-maDHalim）。唯有该法庭有权训诫哈里发或将其罢免。

The responsibility of deciding whether or not the Khaleefah's situation has altered in such a way as to warrant his dismissal is the prerogative of the Court for the Acts of Injustice (mahkumat ul-maDHalim). It, alone, has the authority to admonish or dismiss the Khaleefah.
