Résumé Dans la société safavide en Iran (du 16ème au 18ème siècle), les femmes jouaient un rôle, quoique à un moindre degré que les hommes, à travers les waqfs. Par ce moyen, elles ont laissé des traces qui indiquent leurs droits de propriété ainsi que le rôle qu’elles jouaient dans les domaines culturels, religieux et caritatifs à l’époque. Les femmes de la capitale safavide s’investissaient dans la mesure de leurs moyens et grâce à leurs droits de propriété dans ces questions en consacrant une partie de leurs biens aux œuvres d’intérêt général et caritatives, à travers le waqf. Dans cet article, nous étudions certains aspects du droit de propriété accordé aux femmes qu’elles exerçaient à l’époque safavide en nous appuyant sur les documents d’époque, particulièrement, sur les chartes de fondation des waqf conservées dans les archives d’Ispahan.
