Mataimakin zartarwa yana da alaka kai tsaye da Khalifah, kamar mataimakin wakili, kuma ana ɗaukarsa a matsayin mataimaki, amma kawai ta fuskar aiwatarwa ba ta fuskar mulki ba.

The executive assistant is directly connected to the Khalifah, like the delegated assistant, and is considered as an assistant but only in terms of execution and not in ruling.

Khalifah shi ne mai mulki wanda ke aiwatar da hukunci da aiwatarwa, kuma yana tafiyar da harkokin al'umma. Aiwatar da hukunci, aiwatarwa da tafiyar da mulki na bukatar aikin gudanarwa, kuma wannan yana bukatar samar da wani tsari na musamman da zai kasance tare da Khalifah domin tafiyar da al'amuran da nauyin Khilafah ke bukata. Don haka wannan yana bukatar mataimakan da Khalifah ya nada domin aiwatar da ayyukan gudanarwa, ba ayyukan mulki ba. Aikinsu shi ne taimaka wa Khalifah a gudanarwa, ba mulki ba, kuma ba ya aiwatar da wani aikin mulki da mataimakin da aka wakilta zai yi. Saboda haka, ba a nada shi a matsayin gwamna ko ma'aikaci ('Amil) ba, kuma baya tafiyar da harkokin al'umma, sai dai aikinsa na gudanarwa ne don aiwatar da ayyukan mulki, da ayyukan gudanarwa da ke fitowa daga Khalifah da mataimakan da aka wakilta. Saboda haka, ana kiransa mataimaki mai aiwatarwa.

The Khalifah is the ruler who undertakes the ruling and the implementation, and governing the peoples’ affairs. Undertaking the ruling, implementation and governing requires administrative work and this necessitates the creation of a specific structure which would be with the Khalifah to manage the affairs which are required by the responsibilities of the Khilafah. So this necessitates assistants who are appointed by the Khalifah to execute and carry out the administrative actions, not the actions of ruling. So their action is to assist the Khalifah in administration, not ruling, and so he does not undertake any action of ruling that the delegated assistant would do. Therefore, he is not appointed as a governor or worker (’Amil), and does not govern the peoples’ affairs, but rather his work is administrative to execute the ruling actions, and the administrative actions that are issued from the Khalifah and the delegated assistants. For that reason, he is called the executive assistant.

Malamai sun kira shi Wazir Al-Tanfidh, watau mataimaki mai zartarwa, bisa dogaro da cewa kalmar Wazir a harshen Larabci tana nuna mataimaki. Sun ce: wannan Wazir shi ne hanyar haɗi tsakanin Khalifah da al'umma da gwamnoni. Yana aiwatar da abin da Khalifah ya umarta, yana zartar da abin da aka fitar, yana bibiyar abin da aka yanke hukunci a kansa, yana sanar da naɗin gwamnoni da shirya sojoji da tsaro. Haka kuma yana gabatar wa Khalifah amsoshin da suke dawowa daga gare su, da duk abin da ya faru domin aiwatar da abin da aka umarce shi. Don haka shi ne aka ɗora wa aikin zartar da al'amura, ba a matsayin gwamna a kansu ba, kuma ba shi da iko a kansu. Yana kama da shugaban ofishin Shugabanni a zamanin yau.

The jurists called him the executive minister (Wazir Al-Tanfidh); in other words, the executive assistant, on the basis that the word Wazir linguistically indicates the assistant, and they said: this Wazir is the interface between the Khalifah and the subjects and governors, he carries out what the Khalifah orders, executes what is issued, follows through what is ruled, informs about the assignment of governorship and the preparation of the military and defence. He also presents to the Khalifah the replies back from them, and whatever has occurred in order to carry out whatever he has been ordered. So he is the one assigned for the execution of the affairs, and not as a governor over them, nor empowered over them. He is similar to the head of the office of the Presidents in the contemporary era.
