Ismail bin Omar Abdul Aziz[a] (1911 – 3 February 1994) was a Malaysian aristocrat and Muslim scholar who served as the first State Mufti of Brunei from 1962 to 1965 and again from 1967 until his passing in 1994. He is renowned for his profound contributions to Islamic scholarship, his instrumental role in shaping Brunei's religious landscape as its inaugural mufti, and his insightful fatwas that not only provided clarity on religious matters but also addressed broader ethical, social, and health concerns. His leadership and work strengthened the ties between Brunei and Johor, solidifying his legacy as a respected figure in both regions.
