The aim of this study is to carry out a socio-economic analysis of cash waqfs by using the registers of waqfs (establishment contracts of cash waqfs), which were active in Macedonia during the Ottoman period. 83 cash waqfs were established between 1506 and 1912. In line with the data obtained from registers of waqfs, the demographical characteristics of the founders and their capital amounts, rates of profit shares and returns have been analyzed in relation to the wages. As a result of these analyzes, it has been found out that the returns obtained from cash waqfs were transferred to the investment and expenditure on a large scale and excess money was given as wages. It has been discovered that only half of the wages were allocated to the members of the family as wages and that cash waqfs operated in accordance with the purpose of their establishment.
Bu çalışmanın amacı, Osmanlı döneminde Makedonya’da kurulmuş olan para vakıflarının vakfiyeler üzerinden bir sosyo-ekonomik analizini gerçekleştirmektir. Bu anlamda, 1506 ile 1912 yılları arasını kapsayan dönemde 83 adet para vakfı kurulduğu tespit edilmiştir. Vakfiyeler üzerinden elde edilen veriler doğrultusunda, vakıf kurucularının demografik özellikleri ile birlikte, bu vakıflar özelinde sermaye miktarları, ribh oranları ve bu oranlara bağlı olarak getiriler, ücretler ile ilişkilendirilerek analiz edilmiştir. Bu analizler sonucunda, para vakıflarından elde edilen getirilerin ortalama olarak büyük oranda yatırım ve harcamalara aktarıldığı, geri kalanın ücret olarak verildiği tespit edilmiştir. Verilen ücretlerin de ancak yarısının aile fertlerine ücret olarak tahsis edildiği görülmüş olup, verilerden çıkan sonuçlar doğrultusunda kurulan para vakıflarının, vakıf kuruluş amaçlarına uygun olarak kurulduğu ve işletildiği tespit edilmiştir.
