Question:
If one has been appointed to the leadership of the succession, is he an imam who has the right of leadership, or is it necessary to consult the community so that he obtains the rights of leadership?
Answer:
Answer: Abu Bakr al-Siddiq (may Allah be pleased with him) appointed 'Umar, and his leadership became obligatory. Not one of the Companions opposed him; rather, his authority was established through the appointment of Abu Bakr. The community follows its leaders and those in authority, and follows the people of opinion and those who resolve and bind matters. It is not the right of every person to intervene in the affairs of authority. Yes.
