Naib and defender of the Imamate
Born at Gimry in 1833, he was proclaimed his father's heir as a small child and confirmed in that designation at the Vedeno congress of January 1848 1. From 1850 he was naib of Karata; in the Crimean War he raided Kakheti with his father-in-law Daniyal-bek, and the Ottoman sultan made him a pasha in 1855 1. In 1859 he directed the defence of Vedeno and fought at the Andi Koysu before capitulating with his father at Gunib 1.
Exile and Ottoman service
He followed Shamil into exile at Kaluga, took the oath of Russian allegiance with him in 1866, and in 1871 travelled to Medina for his father's burial 1. From Istanbul he entered Ottoman service instead of returning to Russia, commanded a cavalry brigade of Caucasian muhajirs in the war of 1877–1878, and after the war was sent in honourable exile to Medina with the rank of mushir; he died there in 1902 1 2.
Faith
No source read names any school, order or affiliation for Kazi-Magomed: the article texts are silent, his Russian infobox is a military one with no religion field, and Wikidata carries no religion value 2. His designation as heir to the imamate is a succession matter, not an attestation. His faith segment is therefore recorded as unknown, in the absence configuration.
