The paper will proceed as follows. First, I will briefly introduce the age of later Islamic law. Then I will take a picture of what I call the legal storm of the fourteenth to sixteenth-century Hanafi law in the context of the law of waqf, particularly the debates over istibdal (the exchange of waqf property). I will look at the repercussions of the discussion in eighteenth-century Ottoman legal doctrine and legal cases regarding exchange transactions of waqf property in Istanbul and the Balkans, the period that I describe as calm. Finally, I will conclude by pointing out further directions for research.
