Saad al-Alami
Saad al-Alami (Arabic: سعد الدين العلمي; 1911–1993) was a Sunni Muslim religious leader of the Palestinian people and the fourth Grand Mufti of Jerusalem. He became Grand Mufti in 1952 until his death in 1993.
Al-Alami was born in Jerusalem in 1911, and worked as a Shari‘a Judge in Ramallah from 1948–51 and in Nablus from 1951-53.
On the death of his predecessor Jarallah in 1952, the Jordanian Waqf appointed Saad al-Alami as his replacement.[1][2]
