c13.s6.2
As Aurangzib writes in one of his letters, “The Khalifa of the Age (*i.e.*, the reigning sovereign of the country) is the trustee [not ‘owner’] of the *Bait-ul-mal*.” [*Ruqaat* No. 107.] And, again, in two other letters, “It is my duty to increase the property of the *Bait-ul-mal*” and “All presents made (to the sovereign) appertain to the *Bait-ul-mal*.” [Irvine MS. 350, No. 29 ; I.O.L. M.S. 3301, No. 102.]
