A '''Grand Mufti''' (also called '''Chief Mufti''', '''State Mufti''' and '''Supreme Mufti''') is a title for the leading [[Faqīh|Islamic jurist]] of a [[country]], typically [[Sunni]], who may oversee other [[muftis]]. Not all countries with large Sunni Muslim populations have Grand Muftis; in those that do, the Grand Mufti is typically appointed by the [[State (polity)|state]] or elected by a council of scholars.<ref name=ODI/><ref name=PEIPT/> The office originated in the early modern era in the [[Ottoman Empire]] and has been later adopted in a number of countries that were never part of the Ottoman Empire.<ref name=ODI>{{cite encyclopedia|title=Grand Mufti|editor=John L.

Muftis are Islamic jurists qualified to issue a nonbinding opinion ([[fatwa]]) on a point of [[Sharia|Islamic law (sharia)]]. In the 15th century, muftis of the [[Ottoman Empire]], who had acted as independent scholars in earlier times, began to be integrated into a hierarchical bureaucracy of religious institutions and scholars. By the end of the 16th century, the government-appointed mufti of Istanbul came to be recognized under the title ''[[Shaykh al-Islam]]'' (Turkish: ''şeyhülislam'') as the Grand Mufti in charge of this hierarchy. The Ottoman Grand Mufti performed a number of functions, including advising the sultan on religious matters, legitimizing government policies, and appointing judges. After the dissolution the Ottoman Empire the office of the Grand Mufti has been adopted in a number of countries across the Muslim world, often serving the role of providing religious support for government policies.<ref name=PEIPT/>

==History==
{{Further|Mufti}}
Muftis are Muslim religious scholars who issue legal opinions ([[fatwa]]s) interpreting [[sharia]] ([[Islam]]ic law).<ref name="Vogel">{{cite book|last1=Vogel|first1=Frank E.|title=Islamic Law and the Legal System of Saudí: Studies of Saudi Arabia|date=2000|publisher=Brill|location=Leiden|isbn=9789004110625}}</ref>{{rp|16–20}} The [[Ottoman Empire]] began the practice of giving official recognition and status to a single mufti, above all others, as the Grand Mufti.<ref name="Vogel"/>{{rp|5}} The Sheikh ul-Islam (or "grand mufti") of [[Istanbul]] had, since the late 16th century, come to be regarded as the head of the religious establishment.<ref name="Faroqh">{{cite book|last1=Faroqhi|first1=Suraiya N.|title=The Cambridge History of Turkey.

== Election ==
===India===
The [[Grand Mufti of India]] is elected by the Sunni Barelvi Muslims and appointed by the Barelvi Sunni Muslims.

===Brunei===
The State Mufti of [[Brunei]] is nominated by the Sultan.

===Jerusalem===
Throughout the era of British colonialism, the British retained the institution of Grand Mufti in some Muslim areas under their control and accorded the [[Grand Mufti of Jerusalem]] the highest political stature in Palestine. During [[World War I]] (1914–1918), there were two competing Grand Muftis of Jerusalem, one endorsed by the British and one by the [[Ottoman Empire]]. When Palestine was under British rule, the Grand Mufti of Jerusalem was a position appointed by the [[Mandatory Palestine|British Mandate]] authorities. In the [[Palestinian National Authority]], the [[Public administration|administrative]] organization established to [[government|govern]] parts of the [[West Bank]] and [[Gaza Strip]], the Grand Mufti is appointed by the president.

===Malaysia===
Malaysia has a unique system of collective mufti. Nine of the fourteen Malaysian states have their own [[constitutional monarchy]]; nine are ruled by their own constitutional monarch while the country is led by a monarch elected from the nine. These nine monarchs have authority over religious matters within their own states: therefore, each of these nine states have their own mufti who usually controls the Islamic Council or Islamic Department of the state. At the national level, a {{LinkedLabel|Q112684769}} (Majlis Fatwa Kebangsaan) has been formed under the Department of Islamic Advancement of Malaysia (Jabatan Kemajuan Islam Malaysia or JAKIM). JAKIM appoints five Muftis for the five states which do not have monarchs. The muftis of the nine monarchical states, together with the five officials appointed by JAKIM in the National Council of Fatwā, collectively issue fatāwā at the national level.

===Mughal Empire===
In the [[Mughal Empire]], the Grand Mufti of India was a state official.

===Ottoman Empire===
In the [[Ottoman Empire]], the Grand Mufti was a state official, and the Grand Mufti of [[Constantinople]] was the highest of these.

===Saudi Arabia===
The [[Grand Mufti of Saudi Arabia]], with office created in 1953, is appointed by the King.

===Tunisia===
According to Article 78 of the [[Constitution of Tunisia|2014 Constitution]], the Grand Mufti of Tunisia is appointed and can be dismissed by the [[President of Tunisia|President of the Republic]].<ref name=engcon>{{cite book|title=THE CONSTITUTION OF THE TUNISIAN REPUBLIC (Unofficial english translation)|date=26 January 2014|publisher=UNDP and International IDEA|chapter=Title four, chapter one, article 78|chapter-url=http://www.constitutionnet.org/files/2014.01.26_-_final_constitution_english_idea_final.pdf|access-date=19 April 2015|url-status=dead|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150923210602/http://www.constitutionnet.org/files/2014.01.26_-_final_constitution_english_idea_final.pdf|archive-date=23 September 2015}}</ref>
