Hakuna msaidizi aliyefoidishwa (Tafwid) anayebobea katika idara fulani ya taasisi ya kiutawala; badala yake, wajibu wake ni wa jumla, kwa kuwa wale wanaoshughulikia mambo ya kiutawala ni wafanyakazi (watumishi wa serikali) na si watawala, ilhali msaidizi aliyefoidishwa ni mtawala. Hakabidhiwi mamlaka maalum katika kazi yoyote, kwani wajibu wake ni wa jumla.

None of the delegated assistants (Tafwid) specialises in a specific department from the departments of the administrative institution, rather his responsibility is general, since those who undertake the administrative affairs are employees (civil servants) and not rulers, while the delegated assistant is a ruler. He is not entrusted with a specific authority in any of the tasks since his responsibility is general.

Ushahidi ni kile kinachomaanishwa kwa maneno "mawaziri wangu wawili" katika hadith kutoka kwa Al-Tirmidhi, kwamba msaidizi ni msaidizi wa Khalifah katika Khilafah, yaani katika kutawala, hivyo yeye ni mtawala na si mfanyakazi wa serikali. Kwa sababu hiyo, hairuhusiwi kwake kushughulikia mambo ya utawala, kwa kuwa mambo hayo hushughulikiwa na watumishi wa serikali na si na watawala. Msaidizi ni mtawala na si mfanyakazi wa serikali, hivyo kazi yake ni kusimamia mambo, si kufanya kazi ambayo wafanyakazi hulipwa kuifanya. Kwa hiyo, hapaswi kushughulikia mambo ya kiutawala. Hii haimaanishi kwamba ni haramu kwake kufanya kazi yoyote ya kiutawala, bali kwamba hapaswi kubainishwa kufanya kazi ya kiutawala; bali ana usimamizi wa jumla.

The proof is what is meant by the words “my two ministers” in the narration from Al-Tirmidhi, in that the assistant is the assistant to the Khalifah in the Khilafah - in other words, in ruling, and so he is a ruler and not a civil servant. For that reason, it is not permitted for him to deal with the administrative affairs since those are dealt with by civil servants and not by rulers. The assistant is a ruler and not a civil servant and so his work is taking care of the affairs and not to undertake work that employees are paid to do. Therefore, he should not undertake administrative affairs. This does not mean that it is forbidden for him to do any administrative work, rather that he should not be specified to do administrative work; rather he has general control.

Kuhusu kutobainisha uwakilishi wake, sababu yake ni kwamba yeye ni msaidizi, na msaidizi amepewa uwakilishi wa jumla na usimamizi wa jumla. Kwa sababu hiyo, hahitaji uwakilishi mpya kwa kila jambo ambalo Khalifa anamtaka amsaidie, wala kwa kila eneo analomtuma, kwa kuwa uwakilishi wake haukuwa mahususi. Ama yule aliyepewa uwakilishi mahususi, atakuwa na wajibu maalum kama vile mkuu wa mahakama, mkuu wa jeshi, mtawala wa zakat na kadhalika; na hili linahitaji uwakilishi mpya katika kila mamlaka maalum aliyopewa.

As for not specifying his empowerment, this is because he is an assistant, and the assistant is empowered in representation and general control. Due to this, he does not require a new empowerment for every issue that the Khalifah seeks his help in, or for any area he sends him to, since his empowerment was not specific. As for the one who is empowered with a specific empowerment, he would be holding a specific responsibility such as the head of the judiciary, the head of the Army, the governor over the charity and so on; and this would require a new empowerment in every specific authority they were charged with.
