AMPAC Study Session LXII ((62)
qadi, Arabic qāḍī, a Moslem judge who renders decisions according to the Sharīʿah (Islamic law). The qadi’s jurisdiction theoretically includes civil as well as criminal matters. In modern states, however, qadis generally hear only cases related to personal status and religious custom, such as those involving inheritance, pious bequests (waqf), marriage, and divorce. Originally, the qadi’s work was restricted to nonadministrative tasks—arbitrating disputes and rendering judgments in matters brought before him. Eventually, however, he assumed the management of pious bequests; the guardianship of property for orphans, people with cognitive disabilities, and others incapable of overseeing their own interests; and the control of marriages for women without guardians. The qadi’s decision in all such matters was theoretically final, although in practice premodern Moslem polities developed mechanisms for reviewing the qadi’s verdicts. source Britannica
