A kadi (Arabic: قاضي qāḍī; Turkish: kadı) was an official in the Ottoman Empire. The term kadi refers to judges who preside over matters in accordance with Islamic law, but in the Ottoman Empire, the kadi also became a crucial part of the central authority's administrative hierarchy. After Mehmed II codified his qanun, kadis relied on this dynastic secular law, local customs, and the sharia- Islamic divine law- to guide their rulings. Along with adjudicating over criminal and civil matters, the kadi oversaw the administration of religious endowments and was the legal guardian of orphans and others without a guardian. Although Muslims, in particular Muslim men, possessed a higher status in the kadi’s court, non-Muslims and foreigners also had access to the judicial system. Within the Ottoma

  • A kadi (Arabic: قاضي qāḍī; Turkish: kadı) was an official in the Ottoman Empire. The term kadi refers to judges who preside over matters in accordance with Islamic law, but in the Ottoman Empire, the kadi also became a crucial part of the central authority's administrative hierarchy. After Mehmed II codified his qanun, kadis relied on this dynastic secular law, local customs, and the sharia- Islamic divine law- to guide their rulings. Along with adjudicating over criminal and civil matters, the kadi oversaw the administration of religious endowments and was the legal guardian of orphans and others without a guardian. Although Muslims, in particular Muslim men, possessed a higher status in the kadi’s court, non-Muslims and foreigners also had access to the judicial system. Within the Ottoman's provincial administrative system, known as the timar system, the kadi served as an important check on the power of the military class. Despite the unquestioned authority of the sultan, kadis possessed a certain degree of autonomy in their rulings. A kadi's territory was called a kadiluk; there could be several kadiluks in a province (sanjak). Each sub-province or kaza, governed by a kaymakam, had a kadı (though not every kadı was assigned to one kaza, and the boundaries would shift over time). (en)
  • Il kadi o cadi (in arabo: قاضي‎, qāḍī; in turco kadı) era un funzionario dell'Impero ottomano. Il termine kadi si riferisce ai giudici che presiedono le questioni in conformità alla legge islamica, ma nell'Impero ottomano il kadi divenne anche una parte cruciale della gerarchia amministrativa dell'autorità centrale. Dopo che Maometto II codificò il suo kanun, i kadi si affidarono a questa legge secolare dinastica, ai costumi locali e la sharia, la legge divina islamica, per guidare le loro decisioni. Oltre a giudicare su questioni penali e civili, il kadi sovrintendeva all'amministrazione delle istituzioni religiose ed era il tutore legale degli orfani e di altri soggetti in assenza di tutore. Sebbene i musulmani, in particolare gli uomini musulmani, possedessero uno status più elevato alla corte del kadi, anche i non musulmani e gli stranieri potevano accedere al sistema giudiziario. All'interno del sistema amministrativo provinciale ottomano, noto come timar, il kadi fungeva da importante figura di controllo sul potere della classe militare. Nonostante l'indiscussa autorità del sultano, i kadi possedevano un certo grado di autonomia nelle loro decisioni. Il territorio di un kadi era chiamato kadiluk; potevano esserci diversi kadiluk in una provincia (sangiaccato o sanjak). Ogni sotto-provincia o kaza, governata da un caimacam, aveva un kadı (sebbene non tutti i kadı fossero assegnati a una kaza e i confini si spostavano nel tempo). (it)
