Preservation of the Waqf of Alimbek after the Fall of the Kokand Khanate

Attempts to Circumvent Legislation on the Expansion of Waqf The conversion of real estate into waqf, as noted above, served as a guarantee of the inviolability of property from encroachments by khans and other feudal lords. This inviolability extended to waqf property in the early years after the annexation of Fergana to Russia. A sufficient illustration of this is the following fact. The land in the Bash-Bulak area, which was owned by Abdullabek as a private owner, where peasants lived with
