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.
