Q&A: The seeking of the Nusrah (support to establish the rule)

Question: Assalamu Alaikum, It is mentioned in the book, Structuring of a Party (At-Takattul), about the reaching of the rule by way of the Ummah and the actions associated with seeking the Nusrah. Is seeking Nusrah part of the interaction stage or is it from the stage of reaching the rule? Please clarify and provide detail as before. From Okab Alhak Answer: Wa Alaikumus Salaam Wa Rahamatullahi wa Barakaatuhu, Seeking the support to change the rule (Talab An-Nusrah) occurs at the end of the interaction stage.

Q&A: What is the Evidence for Specifying a Time Period for the Election of the Khaleefah?

Assalamu alaikum waRahmatullahi wa Barakatuhu. Yaa sheikh, I would like to ask you a question about the 3-day deadline of nasb ul-Khaleefah after the retirement of the previous Imam. It is stated in the Ajhizah book that this time-span is based on Umar's (radhiyallahu anhu) order to kill any among the six Sahabas if they reject the agreement of the others after 3 days. My question is that there are some people who state that this Riwayat taken from Tarikh Thabari is categorized as dha'if (weak). What do you say about it? Baarakallaahu fiik wa jazaaka khayran jazaa. Ahmad Nadhif Answer: The subject of Umar (ra) specifying to the Sahaabah the time period of three days to elect the Khalifah... This command took place amongst a group of the Sahaabah and 'Umar (ra) said to Suhaib in front of the group of Sahaabah: »صَلِّ بِالنَّاسِ ثَلَاثَةَ أَيَّامٍ، وَأَدْخِلْ عَلِيًّا وَعُثْمَانَ وَالزُّبَيْرَ وَسَعْدًا وَعَبْدَ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنَ عَوْفٍ وَطَلْحَةَ إِنْ قَدِمَ...
