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]

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 waqf property.
