message: Narrative Social Structure: Anatomy of the Hadith Transmission Network, 610-1505 "27. Al-Sakhawi (1986b, 14-17) defines it as follows: "Shaykh al-Islam, as inferred from its use as a term among the authorities, is a title attributed to that follower of the book of Allah Most High and the example of His messenger, who possesses the knowl- edge of the principles of the science (of religion], has plunged deep into the different views of the scholars, has become able to extract the legal evidences from the texts, and has understood the rational and the transmitted proofs at a satisfactory level." Sakhawi traces the evolution of the concept and lists the very few scholars who have been given this title."  The The Princeton Encyclopedia of Islamic Political Thought which we've used adds "The Egyptian historian and ha- ith expert Muhammad h. "AM al-Rahman al-Sakhawi complained in the 15thcentury that it had been overused and applied to many who did not actually deserve it". 
By the way, shouldn't we put the text bit of the Ottoman section back with the rest of the article? It seems disconnected. Doug Weller talk 18:05, 10 July 2016 (UTC)

message: I've checked all the citations for the Current section and could not find a single RS reporting on current usage of this term. Hence there's nothing left. Encyclopedic entries for Skaykh al-Islam also don't say anything about use of this term in recent times. Until we find some RSs about current usage, there's no value of listing people who have been called "Shaykh al-Islam" by someone somewhere, because it's not clear that a list of such persons would be more meaningful than, say, a list of people called "virtuoso", or than discussing Michael Jackson in King on account of him being called "king of pop".

message: One of the earliest recorded instances of its use is by Imam Ahmad ibn Hanbal (d. 241 AH), who referred to Ahmad ibn Yunus (d. 227 AH) as "Shaykh al-Islam". This is narrated by al-Fadl ibn Ziyad in al-Fasawī's (d. 277 AH) al-Ma'rifah wa al-Tarikh (p. 180). As Ahmad ibn Yunus died in 227 AH, this places the usage of the title firmly by 227 AH at the latest.
