What is problematic in this characterization of the muftis' duties and responsibilities is the implication that there existed no contradiction among them.
This reviewer believes that the author attributes too much agency to the muftis.
And finally, the muftis were interested in protecting the rights and interests of women.
The names of virtually all kadis, m derrises, muftis and other important members of the religious establishment were u accompanied by this title.
One is left speculating as to the representativeness of the case studies and the number of cases which actually involved a mufti^.
The proud mufti, now with an established scholarly reputation and a long record of loyalty to the state, was not easy prey.
Responding to the situation, the wali did not hesitate to employ swift and harsh measures, including destruction of the mufti's residence, to suppress the uprising and restore normality.
It is not merely his uniform; he has to find all his private clothes but his mufti.
