Mahallah Principals and Fellows are selected from academicians and administrative staff of the University. Principals are directly accountable to the Dean of the Centre for Foundation Studies on matters of administration and supervision of the mahallah as well as to cooperate and coordinate with the Residential Management and Discipline Department pertaining to matters related to mahallah activities.

Fellows are primarily responsible in ensuring the smooth running of the hisbah system as well as in inculcating the spirit of “al’amr bil maaruf wa ital nahyu anil munkar” among the students. They are also responsible in assisting the Principal of the Mahallah in looking after the activities, security, welfare, conduct and discipline of residents in the Mahallah, as well as handling other duties whenever needed
