Notes	The study deals with the subject of the orphans of the city of Damascus between the years 1900 and 1918, that is, at the end of Ottoman control over Damascus, and in it the most prominent cases under which minor orphans lived were studied, namely custody for mother and non-mother women, guardianship for women and men, and the role of the Ottoman state through the Orphans’ Money Fund. It addresses how society and the state deal with minor orphans, socially and financially, and the ways to preserve their rights, the injustice to which they were exposed, as well as the society’s culture towards The orphan and his culture towards his rights. In the same context, the study discusses the role played by the Orphans’ Money Fund and its importance, and how it was transformed into a bank that takes interest despite the fact that the Islamic religion prohibited usury, along with other results reached by the research based on the records of Sharia court documents in Damascus, which documented all the cases that the city’s orphans went through, to give a complete historical context, far from studying any of the sources and references, taking into account that there are no previous studies on the subject.
