CADI (gdi)

This article appears in Volume V04, Page 928 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: BUN-CAL
CADI (gdi) , a judge in a mahkama or
Mahommedan
  ecclesiastical
court
 , in which decisions are rendered on the basis of the
canon
  law of
Islam
  (
shari
  'a). It is a general duty, according to
canon
  law, upon a Moslem community to judge legal disputes on this basis, and it is an individual duty upon the ruler of the community to appoint a
cadi
  to act for the community. According to Shafi`ite law, such a
cadi
  must be a male, free, adult Moslem, intelligent, of unassailed character, able to see, hear and write, learned in the Koran, the traditions, the Agreement, the differences of the legal schools, acquainted with Arabic grammar and the exegesis of the Koran. He must not sit in a mosque; except under necessity, but in some open, accessible place. He must maintain a strictly impartial attitude of
body
  and mind, accept no presents from the
people
  of his
district
 , and render judgment only when he is in a normal
condition
  mentally and physically. He may not engage in any business. He shall ride to the place where he holds
court
 , greeting the
people
  on both sides. He shall visit the sick and those returned from a journey, and attend funerals. On some of these points the codes differ, and the whole is to be regarded as the ideal qualification, built up theoretically by the canonists.
See MAAOMMEDAN Law; also Juynboll, De Mohammedaansche Wet (Leiden, 1903), pp. 287 ff.; Sachau, Muhammedanisches Recht (Berlin, 1897), pp. 687 if. (D. B. MA.)
