He served as Mufti of Constanța County between 1943 and 1945. He was preceded by Kurt-Amet Mustafa and succeeded by Reşit Seit-Veli.

In 1945 he was arrested and investigated facing charges of traveling to Crimea sent by the Gestapo to foster the separation of Crimea from the Soviet Union, creating in Romania nests of Crimean Tatars aimed at defaming in the highest degree the Soviet state and its army, helping the Germans to recruit Crimean Tatars charged of being Soviet patriots who were taken to Germany and whose existence is unknown.[3]
