Identity: the queue line's bearer is the Sarajevo-born reis-ul-ulema of 1938–1942 (1877–1942); the queue's years are confirmed, the death day being carried at 14 February with the Bosnian article's body variant of 13 February preserved. Existence checks by name fragments (spaho) and by QID across data/person on origin/main found no prior record. The sibling edge to Mehmed Spaho (built in this same batch) is written once, here in the elder brother's record — Fehim born 1877, Mehmed 1883 — under the registry's symmetric sibling_of predicate, as both men's biographies attest the brotherhood; his brother Mustafa and his parents have no records. Sarajevo has a place entity and carries the born_in and died_in edges.",
