Command and Coordination

As apparatus of Aceh province, the commander of Wilayatul Hisbah reported to Governor of Aceh,[8] but the institution consolidated and consulted to the Directorate General of Territorial Administration of the Ministry of Home Affairs.[9]

Each city or regency in Aceh province possessed their own Wilayatul Hisbah office, but they are subordinate to their respective city or regency local government. Provincial Wilayatul Hisbah possessed power to held guidance and fostering to the Wilayatul Hisbah office in city or regency.[8]

The Wilayatul Hisbah is separated and differed from another department in Aceh Province, Aceh Province Department of Islamic Sharia, which is tasked to educate, foster, conserve Islamic ways and way of life in Aceh, and performing research and assessments for producing Islamic law documents applicable in Aceh Province. While Aceh Department of Islamic Sharia tasked with such tasks, it does not have power for law enforcing. The Wilayatul Hisbah enforced the laws applicable within the province only.[9]
