Descripción
Sumario:[EN]This paper focus on the role played by the institution of pious endowments (hubs khayrî) and the influence that it exercised upon Andalusian society during the period comprising the tenth to twelfth centuries. It has relied fundamentally upon Arabic juridical sources . The author inquires to what extent did pious endowments condition the socio-economic development of al-Andalus, and what repercussions did they have on the daily life of its inhabitants. To answer these questions we will have to consider the institutions (mosques, cemeteries, walls, fortresses, holy war), as well as the population groups (the poor, the sick, prisoners, slaves, pious women, ascetics) that were implicated in this type of endowments and in whose interest reverberated the income generated from them. The main aim is to determine how the hubs khayrî has affected the dynamics of the Andalusian population.
