Mülk
Etymology
Characteristics of mülk
Mülk was similar to freehold land; owners could buy, sell, and mortgage freely. It was exempt from some kinds of land taxes.[3] Mülk was about more than just the land; it might also include the right to annual malikane payments from tenants and farmers.[4]
Context
In much of the near east, mülk can be contrasted against miri, which was effectively state-controlled land (perhaps a former mülk forfeited to the state when the owner had no heir to pass it on to).[5]
In some ways, mülk was similar to vakuf property.
