grand mufti
The Grand Mufti ((アラビア語:مفتي عام) ', "general expounder" or ', "the great of expounders") is the highest official of religious law in a Sunni or Ibadi Muslim country. The Grand Mufti issues legal opinions and edicts, fatāwā, on interpretations of Islamic jurisprudence for private clients or to assist judges in deciding cases. The collected opinions of the Grand Mufti serve as a valuable source of information on the practical application of Islamic law as opposed to its abstract formulation. The Grand Mufti's fatāwā (plural of "fatwā") are ''not'' binding precedents in areas of civil laws regulating marriage, divorce, and inheritance. In criminal courts, the Grand Mufti's recommendations are generally not binding either.
==History==
''Muftis'' are Muslim religious scholars who issue influential legal opinions (''fatwas'') interpreting Sharia (Islamic law). The Ottoman Empire began the practice of giving official recognition and status to a single ''mufti'', above all others, as the ''Grand Mufti''. The Grand Mufti of Istanbul had, since the late 16th century, come to be regarded as the head of the religious establishment. He was thus not only pre-eminent but bureaucratically responsible for the body of religious-legal scholars and gave legal rulings on important state policies such as the dethronement of rulers.〔 This practice was subsequently borrowed and adapted by Egypt from the mid-19th century.〔 From there, the concept spread to other Muslim states, so that today there are approximately 16 countries with sizeable Muslim populations which have a ''Grand Mufti''. The relationship between the Grand Mufti of any given state and the state's rulers can vary considerably, both by region and by historical era.
