Vali, Halife'nin temsilcisi olarak valiliğindeki dairelerin işlerine ilişkin zorunlu yönetim ve sorumluluk yetkilerine sahiptir; bu nedenle eyaletinde, muavinin Devlet içinde sahip olduğu tüm yetkilere sahiptir. Eyaletindeki halk üzerinde liderlik ve bununla bağlantılı her şey üzerinde denetim yetkisine sahiptir; mali işler, yargı ve Ordu hariç. Ancak polis, idari yönden değil, uygulama yönünden onun liderliği altındadır.

The governor has the mandatory powers of ruling and responsibility over the tasks of the departments in his governorship as a delegate of the Khalifah, so he has all the powers in his province that the assistant has in the State. He has leadership over the people of his province and control over everything that is connected with it apart from the finances, judiciary and Army. However, the police come under his leadership from the angle of implementation not administration.

Bunun delili, valinin, atandığı görevde Halifenin vekili olması ve bu sebeple o görevde Halifenin zorunlu yetkilerine sahip olmasıdır; valilik genel nitelikte ise, genel yönetim bakımından yardımcıya benzer; yani o görevde kendisine genel yönetim yetkisi verilmiştir. Valilik özel nitelikte ise, yalnızca atandığı konularda özel yönetim yetkisine sahiptir ve bunların dışında zorunlu bir yönetim yetkisi yoktur.

Its evidence is that the governor is the delegate of the Khalifah in the position that he was appointed to and so he has the mandatory powers of the Khalifah in that position, and he is similar to the assistant with respect to the general control if his governorship was a general one; in other words, he has been given the general control in that position. He has specific control in the issues that he was appointed to alone if his governorship was specific, and he has no mandatory powers for control in other than that.
