9.3 The appointment of the judges
It is permitted to appoint the judge, the Muhtasib (judge of public rights) and the Mudhalim on a general capacity, to judge on all matters all over the State. It is also permitted to appoint them in a specific capacity, whether geographic or according to a certain type of judiciary. This would be in accordance with the action of the Messenger of Allah (PBUH), for he appointed Ali Ibnu Abi Talib as judge over Yemen, and Muadh Ibnu Jabal as judge over an area of Yemen, and he also appointed Amr Ibnu-l- Aas as judge in one specific matter.
