There is a dispute in the Muslim Religious Union in Poland over the appointment of Mufti. A schism in this religious community has been going on since 2016. This situation is a source of challenges for state authorities – religious administrationand courts – as regards the application of numerous principles of the Constitution of the Republic of Poland of 1997. These principles include: the autonomy and independence of religious associations in their scope, legalism, legal certainty and the trust of citizens in the state and the law created by it. The legal status of the Union is based on anachronistic legal acts: the Act of 21 April 1936 on the relationship between the State and the Muslim Religious Union in the Republic of Poland and the statute approved by the Council of Ministers by way of a decree of 26 August 1936. In practice, the Muslim Religious Union applies an internal statute of 2009. The authorities of the religious administration and courts try to maintain neutrality and not to interfere in the internal dispute in the Muslim Religious Union. This is in line with the standards resulting from the rulings of the European Court of Human Rights and the constitutional principle of autonomy and independence of religious associations. However, there is legal uncertainty. Hence it is urgent to repeal the 1936 law and statute. This may be done either by a decision of the Constitutional Tribunal or by the adoption of a new law based on the Muslim Religious Union’s agreement with the Council of Ministers. However, the revision of the legislation concerning the Muslim Religious Union requires compliance with Article 25 (5) of the Constitution of the Republic of Poland, i.e. the agreement of the Council of Ministers with the Muslim Religious Union. The latter may sabotage any project that foresees the limitation of its competence. The government has limited scope for influence on the Mufti. In conclusion, one may be under the impression that the ruling functions of the state in the Muslim Religious Union have already been paralysed.

The purpose of the undertaken research was to analyze the filling in the post of Mufti of the Muslim Religious Union in relation to the principles of the Constitution of the Republic of Poland, existing acts and jurisdiction of civil and administrative courts. Using the dogmatic method with emphasis on language and functional interpretation, an attempt was made to determine the method of the filling of the Mufti office and his legal situation in the Muslim Religious Union. The obtained results allowed for the formulation of a critical evaluation. In the Muslim Religious Union there is a dispute over the establishment of the Mufti office. It is urgent to repeal the Act of April 21, 1936, on the relationship of the State to the Muslim Religious Union in the Republic of Poland and the statute approved by the Council of Ministers by way of an ordinance of August 26, 1936. This can be done either by a Constitutional Court decision or by passing a new law on the basis of the Muslim Religious Union Agreement with the Council of Ministers.

Celem podjętych badań była analiza obsady godności Muftiego Muzułmańskiego Związku Religijnego w świetle zasad Konstytucji RP, istniejących przepisów oraz orzecznictwa sądów cywilnych i administracyjnych. Przy wykorzystaniu metody dogmatycznej z uwzględnieniem wykładni językowej i funkcjonalnej, podjęto próbę ustalenia sposobu obsady urzędu Muftiego oraz jego statusu prawnego w Muzułmańskim Związku Religijnym. Otrzymane wyniki pozwoliły na sformułowanie krytycznej oceny. W Muzułmańskim Związku Religijnym trwa spór o obsadę urzędu Muftiego. Pilną koniecznością jest uchylenie ustawy z 21 kwietnia 1936 r. o stosunku Państwa do Muzułmańskiego Związku Religijnego w Rzeczypospolitej Polskiej oraz statutu zatwierdzonego przez Radę Ministrów w drodze rozporządzenia z 26 sierpnia 1936 r. Może to nastąpić w drodze orzeczenia Trybunału Konstytucyjnego albo w wyniku uchwalenia nowej ustawy na podstawie umowy Muzułmańskiego Związku Religijnego z Radą Ministrów.
