Dr. Awang Haji Ismail bin Omar Abdul Aziz was the first state mufti of Brunei under the Ministry of Religious Affairs office, later State Mufti Office. He was an Johorian and held many important posts in Johore. He became the State Mufti of Brunei in 1962 under the terms of 3 years. In 1965, he still stayed as the State Mufti until his death in 1994. He died in Raja Isteri Pengiran Anak Saleha Hospital at Bandar Seri Begawan, Brunei Darussalam.[citation needed]

He had declared many Fatwas during those years, one of which was the banning of selling alcoholic drinks.[3] Thus, he was well known among the Muslims in the region as The Sunni Defender.
