Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. He says: Is every person who takes charge of an affair of the Muslims, such as a department manager or a company manager, considered a ruler (wali al-amr) whose obedience is obligatory?

Answer:
A deputy is considered a deputy for the ruler (wali al-amr). So the manager in the department is a deputy for the ruler (wali al-amr). Everyone who takes on a position is a deputy in it for the ruler. Yes.
