Life

Prince Mustafa was born on 20 February 1830 at Cairo.<ref name="TDV İslâm Ansiklopedisi">{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref> He was the third son of Ibrahim Pasha of Egypt and his consort Ulfat Qadin (died 1865).<ref name="Haskan 2008"/> He was educated at the Egyptian Mission School in Paris. When he was eleven years of age Mustafa was circumcised. On January 18, 1863, Prince Mustafa became the heir apparent to his brother Isma'il Pasha but on May 28, 1866, Ismail paid the Ottoman Sultan Abdülaziz to issue a firman so that the succession became by a direct male line of the reigning Khedive (viceroy) instead of passing from brother to brother. In protest of this decision, Mustafa Fazl Pasha left Egypt for Paris, where he patronized the Young Ottomans opposition against the Sultan Abdulaziz.<ref>Template:Cite book</ref>

After losing his first place in the Egyptian line of succession, Prince Mustafa was appointed Ottoman minister for education in 1862, minister for finance in 1864 and 1869, and minister for justice from 1871 until 1872.Template:Cn
