All Charters (Religious Legal Instruments)

Foundational documents that grant rights or set the terms for religious communities within a state, such as the Constitution of Medina, the Pact of Umar and the endowment deed of Haseki Hurrem Sultan. An entry belongs here when its article presents a charter or compact. The group page lists texts of the same legal kind together so that a reader can compare how religious authority and state power are put into writing.
