- Abstract
This article focuses on social practices related to endowments, ḥubs (pi. aḥbâs), during the first two centuries of Islam, and their relations to the legal theories which emerged during that period. The study is based on exclusively Egyptian documentation. We will first examine documents of aḥbbâs from the end of the lst/7th century, which are available in the pre-fatimid literature produced in Fusṭâṭ, with a specific focus on social practices and the specific conditions which were stated in these documents. How holders of aḥbbâs managed to make them durable and circumvent some of the strict regulations of inheritance. Secondly, we will look at the part that the cadis and jurisconsults played in regulating and resolving conflicts related to abḥbbâs, from mid 2nd/8th century, based on papyrus documents, from the first three centuries of Hegira. This study is aimed to better comprehend the evolution of the institution of endowments in Egypt, in a context of transition which resulted in normalising social practices in this field.
