- Abstract
There have been 120 Sheikhulislam to serve in a period of five centuries in Ottoman Empire and their fatwas played an important role in solving many of the matter. Fatwa is a process of putting forth an issue's provision through exploring by a Mufti or Sheikhulislam. The right to give fatwas in Ottoman Empire appertained to Sheikhulislam and the Muftis maintained this duty in provincials abiding by the authority. The fatwas the Sheikhulislam and Muftis gave were typically prose, but, although less, it has been encountered with data relating with verses. In these fatwas, given by the Sheikhulislams who are at the same time a classical Ottoman poet, most of them weren't artistic ant the questions to the issues were answered briefly. Belonging a large part of our verse of fatwas to the Sheikhulislams, only three of them were written by a Mufti who served in a province. This Mufti is Seyyid Mehmed Riza, who has been cadi in various places in the 17th century and known for his biographical work Riza's missive. In this article, Seyyid Mehmed Riza's verses of fatwas were analyzed and introduced who was so far recognized with his missives.
