Qadi (also known as Qazi or Kazi or Kadi) (Arabic: قاضي) is a judge or religious adjudicator who preaches and decides on Islamic religious matters. The judgment of a kazi must be based on ijma, the prevailing consensus of the ulema, Islamic scholars. The term qadi was in use right from the time of the Prophet Muhammad, and remained the term used for judges throughout Islamic history and the period of the caliphates.
