This attribute controls the content of the description and og:description elements. | Records of Endowed Properties [Waqfiyat] are accounts of land deeded to a mosque or charitable institution. Although not specifically observed in Albania, these documents are known to exist in other Muslim areas of the Ottoman Empire, meaning it is quite likely that such records exist in Albania as well. There are two types of waqfs. One is a document which deeds an individual's property to a mosque or other charitable institution which would thereafter be regarded as the property's legal owner. The other type of waqf is known as the waqf khass or chair (private waqf) in which case the property is legally owned by a pious or charitable institution, but the revenues are divided among the donor's descendants, including wives and daughters, through several generations. The waqf may also benefit the extended family, including brothers and sisters and their children, as well as freed slaves. When there are no more descendants the revenues accrue to the institution. The waqf system was not uniquely limited to Muslims. |
