Explanatory Notes
1.
Such legislative
acts were being considered at one time in the Indian sub-continent to protect
Muslim properties from being taken over by Hindu money lenders for payment of
the heavy debts which Muslims usually owed to them. These acts became
controversial. Some �Ulam� supported them as a means of protecting Muslim
properties, especially those of endowments to descendants. Others opposed them
as being in conflict with the laws of inheritance of the Shar�ah.
