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 shari?a 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. 410 0$aStudies in Islamic law and society ;$v35. 606 $aLandlord and tenant (Islamic law)$xHistory 606 $aLeases (Islamic law)$xHistory 606 $aUsufruct$zSyria$xHistory 606 $aIslam$zSyria$xHistory 606 $aTenant farmers$xLegal status, laws, etc$zSyria$xHistory 607 $aSyria$xHistory$y1516-1918 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aLandlord and tenant (Islamic law)$xHistory. 615 0$aLeases (Islamic law)$xHistory. 615 0$aUsufruct$xHistory. 615 0$aIslam$xHistory. 615 0$aTenant farmers$xLegal status, laws, etc.$xHistory. 676 $a333.5/30956910903 700 $aJoseph$b Sabrina$g(Sabrina E.)$0974689 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910462385903321 996 $aIslamic law on peasant usufruct in Ottoman Syria$92219508 997 $aUNINA
