Consulting the Ameer

Question: What are those matters about which the Ameer should be asked and consulted?

Response: He should be consulted about those matters which I mentioned while discussing the benefits of appointing an Ameer, especially those matters affecting the group as a whole. No-one, therefore, should proceed to do something by himself, in a matter related to the whole group, before he has consulted the Ameer or President, because acting alone in such a matter is an act of oppression and violence against the Ameer and causes differences of opinion and disputation.
