Mahakama ya Mazalim ina mamlaka ya lazima ya kuchunguza dhulma yoyote ile (Madhlima), iwe dhulma hizo zimefanywa na watumishi wa umma wa serikali, au zinahusiana na kukiuka kwa Khalifah sheria ya Shariah, maana ya kifungu cha sheria katika katiba, kanuni, au kanuni mbalimbali za Shariah alizozikubali Khalifah, kutoza kodi, au jambo lingine lolote.

The court of Mazalim has the mandatory power to look into any Madhlima, whether the Madhlima were perpetrated by government civil servants, or related to a contradiction of the Shariah by the Khalifah, the meaning of a legislative text in the constitution, the canon or the various Shariah rules adopted by the Khalifah, the imposing of a tax, or any other matter. .

Mahakama ya Mazalim kuhusu madhalimu yoyote yanayohusiana na baadhi ya watumishi wa umma, ukiukaji wa Khalifah wa hukumu za Shariah, maana ya maandishi yoyote ya kisheria, katiba au kanuni zilizo ndani ya kuchaguliwa kwa Khalifah, kuwekwa kwa kodi yoyote; au zinazohusiana na dhuluma ya Dola dhidi ya raia wake kwa kunyang'anywa mali zao kwa nguvu, au uvunjaji wake wa sheria kuhusu mali zilizokusanywa kutoka kwao, au kupunguza mishahara ya wafanyakazi na jeshi au kuchelewesha malipo yao: Katika aina hizi zote za madhalimu hakuna haja ya kikao cha kimahakama kuchunguza kesi hiyo, kumwita mshtakiwa, au kuwa na mlalamikaji. Badala yake, Mahakama ina haki ya kuchunguza dhalimu hata kama hakuna malalamiko kutoka kwa mtu yeyote.

Judiciary of Mazalim regarding any madhlima connected to some civil servants, the Khalifah’s violation of the Shariah rules, the meaning of any legislative text, the constitution or the canons within the adoption of the Khalifah, the imposing of any tax; or related to the State’s oppression of its citizens in terms of the seizure of their properties by force, or its transgression in terms of the collected properties (from them) or reducing the salaries of the employees and the army or delaying their payment: In all of these types of madhlima there is no necessity of a judicial sitting to look into the case, to summon the defendant, or to have a plaintiff. It rather has the right to look into the madhlima even if there was no complaint by anybody. .

Hii ni kwa sababu ushahidi unaothibitisha sharti la kuwepo kwa mahakama ya kukaa kusikiliza kesi hauhusu mahakama ya Mazalim. Hii ni kwa sababu haina mdai, kwani kuwepo kwa mdai hakuhitajiki. Mahakama ya Mazalim ina haki ya kuchunguza Madhlima hata kama hakuna aliyewasilisha dai, kwa kuwa si lazima mdai kuhudhuria, kwani inachunguza kesi bila kuhitaji kuhudhuriwa kwa mshtakiwa, kwa sababu inasoma kesi. Kwa hiyo, ushahidi kuhusu umuhimu wa mahakama ya kimahakama haulihusu hilo. Hii ni kutokana na kile Abu Dawud na Ahmad walichosimulia kutoka kwa Abdullah bin Al-Zubair, alisema: "Mtume wa Allah ﷺ aliamuru kwamba 'pande mbili zinazozozana ziketi mbele ya hakimu.'" Na kauli yake ﷺ kwa 'Ali (ra): "Iwapo pande mbili zinazozozana zimeketi mbele yako."

This is because the evidence that proves the stipulation of the presence of judiciary sitting to examine the case does not apply to the judiciary of the Mazalim. This is because it has no plaintiff, as the presence of a plaintiff is not necessary. The court of Mazalim has the right to look into a Madhlima even if nobody filed a claim because it not necessary for the plaintiff to attend, since it examines the case without the need of the attendance of the defendant, as it studies the case. Therefore, the evidence regarding the necessity of a judicial court does not apply to that. This is due to what Abu Dawud and Ahmed narrated from Abdullah bin Al-Zubair, he said: “The Messenger of Allah PBUH) ordered that‘the two disputing parties sit before the judge.’" And his (PBUH) saying to ’Ali (ra): "If the two disputing parties sat before you.”.

Kwa hiyo, mahakama ya Mazalim ina haki ya kuchunguza Madhlima kadri yanavyotokea bila vizuizi vyovyote kama vile wakati, mahali au vikao vya mahakama. Hata hivyo, kwa sababu ya hadhi ya mahakama hii kuhusiana na mamlaka yake ya lazima, daima imezungukwa na mambo ya heshima na ukuu. Wakati wa Masultani huko Misri na Al-Sham, Baraza la Sultani ambamo Mazalim zilikuwa zikishughulikiwa lilijulikana kama "Nyumba ya Haki", ambapo Sultani alikuwa akiwateua manaibu wa kutenda kwa niaba yake, na mahakimu pamoja na Mafakihi nao walikuwa wakihudhuria. Al-Maqrizi alitaja katika kitabu chake kiitwacho al-Suluk Ila Ma’rifat Duwal Al-Muluk (Njia ya Kujua Hali za Wafalme), kwamba Sultani Al-Malik Al-Salih Ayub aliwateua manaibu wa kutenda kwa niaba yake katika nyumba ya haki, ambapo walikaa kuondoa Mazalim, na kukusanyika pamoja na mashahidi, mahakimu na Mafakihi. Kwa hiyo, hakuna ubaya mahakama ya Mazalim kuwa na jengo lenye hadhi, kwani hilo ni Mubah, hasa ikiwa hilo linaakisi ukuu wa haki.

Therefore, the court of Mazalim reserves the right to look into the Madhlima as it occurs without any restrictions such as time, place or court sitting. However, due to the standing of this court as far as its mandatory powers are concerned, it has always been surrounded by the elements of prestige and grandeur. At the time of the Sultans in Egypt and Al-Sham, the Council of the Sultan where the Mazalim used to be dealt with used to be known as the "House of Justice", where the Sultan used to appoint deputies to act on his behalf, and the judges and the Faqihs also used to attend. Al-Maqrizi mentioned in his book entitled al-Suluk Ila Ma’rifat Duwal Al-Muluk (The way to know the States of the kings), that the Sultan Al-Malik Al-Salih Ayub appointed deputies to act on his behalf in the house of justice, where they sat to remove the Mazalim, and to gather with the witnesses, judges and the Faqihs. Therefore, there is no harm if the court of Mazalim had a splendid house, for this would be Mubah, especially if this reflected the might of justice.
