This study explores the role of religious titles and positions in the governance of the Central Asian khanates. Special attention is given to the structure of religious authority, its interaction with the state administration, and the influence of religious leaders on political decision-making. The research analyzes institutions such as the qadi (judge), mufti, and shaykh al-Islam, focusing on their functions, powers, and hierarchical status within the state. The work is based on historical sources, archival documents, and the studies of Orientalists. This research provides deeper insight into the political-administrative structure of the khanates and sheds light on the relationship between secular and religious authorities in traditional Muslim societies.References
