Qadi (also known as Qazi and Kadi) (Arabic: قاضي) is a judge ruling in accordance with the sharia, Islamic religious law. Because Islam makes no distinction between religious and secular domains, qadis traditionally have jurisdiction over all legal matters involving Muslims. The judgment of a qadi must be based on ijma, the prevailing consensus of the ulema, Islamic scholars. Charges of favoritism and corruption against qadis are as ancient in Islam as anti-clericalism is in the West
