description: "Zenbilli Ali Cemali Efendi Ottoman mufti, Islamic scholar (alim), shaykh al-Islam, Sufi, and minister. Zenbilli Ali was the son of Ahmed Çelebi, the grandson of Cemaleddin Aksarayi, a descendant of Fahraddin al-Razi. Since he is the descendant of Cemaleddin Aksarâyî, he is referred to with the title of Cemali, like his contemporary relatives and other statesmen and scholars. He was known among the people as \"Zenbilli mufti\" and \"Zenbilli Ali Efendi\", because he took people's questions with a weaved basket (zenbil) hanging from the window of his house in order to conclude the affairs of those who applied to him for a fatwa in a short time and put the answers back in the zenbil."
