Upholding the Integrity of Sharīʿa vis-à-vis Qanūn -- Conclusion -- Bibliography -- Index.Drawing on Hanafi fatawa and legal commentaries from Ottoman Syria between the 17th and early 19th centuries, this book examines the legal status of tenants and sharecroppers on arable lands, most of which were state or waqf properties. Challenging existing scholarship which argues that the status of cultivators gradually eroded after the 16th century, this study explores how jurists balanced the rights and obligations of tenants and landlords, thereby ensuring the adaptability of the Ottoman land system. The work addresses the differences between sharecropping and tenancy arrangements, the limitations that governed state and waqf officials, and the interplay between shariʿa and qanun in shaping land laws. The book also illustrates the doctrinal development of the law and sheds light on notions of 'ownership’, ideas of private vs. public good, and prevailing conceptions of social and economic justice.Studies in Islamic law and society ;35.Landlord and tenant (Islamic law)HistoryLeases (Islamic law)HistoryUsufructSyriaHistoryIslamSyriaHistoryTenant farmersLegal status, laws, etcSyriaHistorySyriaHistory1516-1918Landlord and tenant (Islamic law)History.Leases (Islamic law)History.UsufructHistory.IslamHistory.Tenant farmersLegal status, laws, etc.History.333.5/30956910903Joseph Sabrina(Sabrina E.)1575688MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910790360003321Islamic law on peasant usufruct in Ottoman Syria3852820UNINA
