Male members of his family had held key religious positions in Jerusalem since the eighteenth century. The family also had great political influence: more than a third of Jerusalem’s mayors between 1877 and 1914 were members of the al-Husseini clan.
Amin’s father, mufti Mohammed Tahir al-Husseini, was one of the early vocal opponents of Zionism.
