Xalifa hokimlarni tayinlaydi. Ummallar (ishchilar) xalifa tomonidan, agar bu vakolat berilgan bo'lsa, hokimlar tomonidan tayinlanadi. Hokim va ummallarning shartlari yordamchilarning shartlari bilan bir xil bo'lganligi sababli, ular albatta ozod, adolatli, musulmon, voyaga yetgan erkaklar bo'lishi va o'zlariga topshirilgan vazifani bajarishga qodir bo'lgan kishilar orasidan bo'lishi shart, ular taqvodor (Allohdan qo'rqadigan) va kuchli kishilar orasidan tanlanadi.

The Khalifah appoints the governors. The ’Ummal (workers) are appointed by the Khalifah and by the governors if they have been delegated that power. The preconditions of the governor and ’Ummal are the same as the conditions for the assistants, so it is imperative that they are free, just, Muslim, adult men and are from the people who have the capability to do what they are assigned to, and they are chosen from the people of Taqwa (God fearing) and power.

Ushbu maqolaning dalili Payg'ambar (alayhissalom) va undan keyingi sahobalarning amalidir. Payg'ambar (alayhissalom) yurtlarning hokimlari yoki rahbarlarini vakolatlantirar edi va ularga to'liq hokimlik vakolatini berardi, masalan, butun Yaman ustidan hokim bo'lgan Amr ibn Hazm bilan sodir bo'lganidek. Xuddi shunday, Payg'ambar (alayhissalom) ba'zan kimgadir hokimlik mas'uliyatining bir qismini topshirar edi, masalan, Yamanda bir-biridan mustaqil viloyatlarga yuborilgan Mu'oz ibn Jabal va Abu Muso bilan sodir bo'lganidek, va ularga shunday dedi.
