Abstract

The study reveals the records of Islamic legitimate documents for one of the most important stages related to the endowment of khatun,s Wardogan. These documents were issued in a historical record from The Sublime Porte Court (i.e. Al Bab Al Ali), which was the greatest Ottoman Courts in Cairo City (1180 AH).These records document the two parties who obtained the legitimate rights of the endowment: the first is represented in the endowment given to the poor in Mary Francis Abbey, in the holy city of Jerusalem and the second is represented in the endowment given to the provost of the endowment and the Al-Karafi Family. This record is one of the rare pieces of evidence concerning the Islamic endowments which are an image of Muslims’ tolerance directed to non-Muslims. The document of Circassian Wordokan Hatoun’s Endowment is one of the rare registered written documents and certificates which is useful for researchers who are interested in the issue of the Islamic tolerance for non – Muslims, in addition to the study of the socio- economic situation in Egypt in the end of 12th Hijri Calendar /the 18th Gregorian calendar.
