Zaklada za životinje u muslimanskoj kulturi – teološko-moralna refleksija
Animal waqf in Muslim culture - theologic-moral reflexion

Summary/Abstract: The first part of the text briefly presents the understanding of the phenomenon of Waqf (religious foundation, endowment) in the Muslim tradition. Then a typology of the Waqf into human and eco endowment was made. The latter can be further divided into phyto-endowment (i.e. plant endowment) and animal endowment (Arabic: Waqf al-Ḥaywānāt). The examples of animal endowment are detected as early as medieval Muslim culture. Therefore, in the following text, special attention is paid to the origin and development of the animal endowment in the pre-modern period, and several examples of the existence of this form of endowment in history are given. The phenomenon of animal endowment in the Muslim tradition is, in this text, discussed from the perspective of Muslim theology of moral (Arabic: ´Ilm al-Ahlāq).
