Sharia judges

Supreme Leader of Afghanistan since 2021

A qadi (; ) is the magistrate or judge of a Sharia court, who also exercises extrajudicial functions such as mediation, guardianship over orphans and minors, and supervision and auditing of public works.

Yahya ibn Sharaf al-Nawawi () (October 1233 – 21 December 1277) was a Sunni Shafi'ite jurist and hadith scholar. Al-Nawawi died at the relatively early age of 45. Despite this, he authored numerous and lengthy works ranging from hadith, to theology, biography, and jurisprudence that are still read to this day. Al-Nawawi, along with Abu al-Qasim al-Rafi'i, are leading jurists of the earlier classical age, known by the Shafi'i school as the Two Shaykhs (al-Shaykhayn).

Abū Abdullāh Badr ad-Dīn Mohammed bin Abdullah bin Bahādir az-Zarkashī (1344–1392/ 745–794 AH), better known as Az-Zarkashī, was a fourteenth-century Islamic scholar. He primarily resided in Mamluk-era Cairo. He specialized in the fields of law, hadith, history, and Shafi'i legal jurisprudence (fiqh). He left behind thirty compendia, but the majority of these are lost to modern researchers, and only the titles are known. One of his most famous works that has survived is ''al-Burhān fī 'Ulūm al-Qur'ān'', a manual of the Qur'anic sciences.
