Özet:

The Ottoman legal system was based on Islamic law (sharia law) and customary law. While Islamic law consisted of the Qur'an, sunnah, ijma and qiyas, customary law consisted of documents such as edicts, laws, etc. created by the sultan based on his own volition with the authority to legislate on matters not covered by the sharia. In this study, the complaints from Erzincan district reflected to the center in the Ahkâm books numbered 1 and 3 belonging to Erzurum province were examined. In this context, the formation process of complaint issues in Erzincan, the forms of complaint, the authorities, methods and subjects of complaints, the gender distribution of the complainants, etc. were tried to be revealed. For this purpose, Erzurum's ahkâm books numbered 1 and 3 were taken into consideration. The rules to Erzincan district were extracted and subjected to evaluation. In the identified provisions, it was determined that the complaints were concentrated on issues such as the implementation of the Mîrî land regime and related problems, security problems, the economic situation in the context of debt-credit relations, the main problems in inheritance issues and the proposed solutions, and tax issues.
