Abstract
Relying on archival sources, the article for the first time examines wills of the Tatar Muslim clergy representatives and analyses the procedure of parishioners’ inheritance distribution according to Islamic canons. The author provides examples from mullahs’ practice, puts an emphasis on the tradition to make wills, a common phenomenon in the Tatar culture in the pre-revolutionary period. The paper reveals principles of the Muslim law (as it differs from the civil law) concerning inheritance distribution that were applied to the Russian Muslims in the Russian Empire.
