Muhtasib ana mamlaka ya kuhukumu juu ya makosa mara tu anapoyafahamu, popote yalipo, bila haja ya kufanya kikao cha mahakama. Idadi ya askari polisi huwekwa chini ya amri yake ili watekeleze maagizo yake na kutekeleza hukumu zake mara moja.

The Muhtasib has the authority to judge upon violations as soon as he learns of them, irrespective of the location and without the need to hold a court session. A number of policemen are put at his disposal to carry out his orders and to execute his verdicts immediately.

Makala hii inaeleza kwamba kwa Muhtasib hakuhitaji mahakama ya kimahakama ili kuchunguza kesi iliyopo; badala yake yeye hutoa hukumu juu ya kosa mara tu anapokuwa na uhakika kwamba lilitendeka, na ana mamlaka ya kuhukumu mahali popote na wakati wowote, iwe sokoni, nyumbani, akiwa amepanda mgongoni mwa mnyama au kwenye gari, au wakati wa mchana au usiku. Hii ni kwa sababu ushahidi unaothibitisha haja ya kuwa na mahakama ya kimahakama ili kutoa hukumu juu ya kesi hauhusu Muhtasib, kwa kuwa hadithi iliyothibitisha sharti hilo inasema.

This article clarifies that a judicial court would not be required for the Muhtasib to look into the case at hand, rather he passes the judgement upon the offence the moment he is sure that it took place, and he has the power to judge at any place and at anytime, whether in the market, in the house, while riding on the back of an animal or in the car, or during the day or night. This is because the evidence that confirms the need to have a judicial court in order to rule upon a case does not apply to the Muhtasib, because the narration which confirmed this condition states.
