Study Notes

Ottoman Slavery

The Ottoman Empire's slavery system was built upon the practices of previous Muslim empires, including the Rashidun, Umayyad, Abbasid, and Mamluk caliphates.
Ottoman slavery was regulated by both religious Islamic Law (Seriat) and secular Sultan's Law (Kanun), which served as supplementary regulations to Seriat.
Islamic law permitted Muslims to enslave non-Muslims, excluding zimmis (protected minorities who accepted Muslim rule).
Slaves were primarily non-Muslims acquired from regions outside the Ottoman Empire.
A slave's conversion to Islam did not obligate the owner to free them.
Slaves were often categorized based on race, with whites receiving the highest status, Ethiopians second, and Black Africans receiving the lowest status.
