使用する際の注意点

Most Islamic countries nowadays use Islamic law only for civil law, chiefly family law. In such systems a qadi is accordingly a particular kind of civil judge, but this situation is recent. Typically under the Turkish form kadi, the qadis of the Ottoman Empire also initially administered the functions of all local imperial government including taxation and military conscription.
