Sulaiman Ja'abari

Sulaiman Ja'abari (Arabic: سليمان الجعبري‎; 1912–1994) was a Sunni Muslim religious leader of the Palestinian people and the fifth Grand Mufti of Jerusalem.

Ja'abari was born in Hebron and was educated at Al-Azhar University in Cairo, Egypt.

After Jarallah's death, Ja'abari became a qadi for Jordan and a mufti for the Royal Jordanian Land Force.

In 1993, as Israel transferred more control over many of the Muslim holy sites in Jerusalem to the Palestinians, Palestine Liberation Organization chairman Yasser Arafat appointed Sulaiman Ja'abari as Grand Mufti of Jerusalem.

[citation needed] He held this position until his death the following year, when Arafat appointed Ekrima Sa'id Sabri as his successor.
