Record type: Accounts of land deeded to a mosque or charitable institution. 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 ''kharri'' [private] ''waqf'' in which case the property is legally owned by a pious or charitable institution, but the revenues are divided equally among the donor’s descendants, including wife 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. Time period: 1571 to present. The practice of the ''waqf'' goes back to at least the 1200s, but the earliest documents date from the 1400. Cyprus came under Ottoman rule in 1571. | Record type: Accounts of land deeded to a mosque or charitable institution. There are two types of ''waqfs.''
