Sa'id Pasha al-Mufti (Arabic: سعيد المفتي; ady: Хьэбжьокъуэ Сайд; 26 June 1898 – 25 March 1989) was a Jordanian politician and diplomat who served as the 9th Prime Minister of Jordan, a position he served three terms in between 14 April 1950 and 1 July 1956.
Al-Mufti lived in Jabal Amman, an affluent area in Jordan's capital of Amman; his house became known for its unique architecture and was later dubbed Al-Mufti House.
He was of Circassian origin and was an independent politician, serving in several terms as interior minister (1944–1945, 1948–1950, 1951–1953 and 1957).[1] He was Minister of Finance in 1945,[2] and served as the President of the Senate of Jordan from December 1956 to July 1963 and from November 1965 to November 1974.[3]
