dc.descriptionSeveral countries in Africa and the Commonwealth that have a significant population of Muslims have accommodated the Kadhi court system in their Constitutions and laws to cater for the regulation of the personal status of their Muslim citizens. The phrase Kadhi traces its origin from the Arabic word Qadi which literally translates to a person who traditionally has jurisdiction over all legal maters involving Muslims. Accordingly the Kadhi’s judgment must be based on ijumaa (the prevailing consensus) of the ulema(traditional Islamic scholars).
