This article examines the sharp increase of cash waqf endowments in the Khivan Khanate and the circumstances of their usage during the final decades of the nineteenth century. This research supports the conclusion that the rise of monetization in the economy prompted the rapid emergence of cash waqf endowments and led the administrators of such pious institutions to become personally involved in moneylending activities. Through an investigation of Khivan qāżī records, this article shows how cash waqf capital was utilized through bay‘-i jāʾiz, a type of moneylending agreement that became popular across much of the 19th-century Islamic world. It argues that the emergence of cash waqf and bayʿ-i jāʾiz agreements during this period is indicative of the influences of global industrial capitalism on the Khivan economy.

希瓦的资本主义:现金 Waqf 还是现金贷款?

本文考察了希瓦汗国现金waqf捐赠的急剧增加及其在 19 世纪最后几十年的使用情况。这项研究支持这样的结论,即经济中货币化的兴起促使现金waqf捐赠的迅速出现,并导致这些虔诚机构的管理者亲自参与放债活动。通过对 Khivan qāżī记录的调查,本文展示了现金waqf资本是如何通过bay'-i jāʾiz来使用的,bay'-i jāʾiz 是一种在 19 世纪伊斯兰世界的大部分地区流行起来的放债协议。它认为现金waqf的出现这一时期的bayʿ-i jāʾiz协议表明了全球工业资本主义对希瓦经济的影响。
