چکیده:
The culture, history, and rituals of Iranians have long been familiar with the tradition of waqf (endowment) and its beneficial effects on society. As can be seen from the writings of predecessors, waqf has a long history in Iran. In this research, after defining waqf and its history in ancient Iran, we introduce the endowment deed of the Qanatghastan fire temple. This endowment deed was drafted during the Qajar era and is currently kept in the Gonbad-e Jebeliyeh Stone Museum in Kerman. The name of the endower is Darvish Khan ibn Jamji Hatria, who provided a place for Zoroastrians to perform certain religious matters such as lighting fires and performing Gehanbar.
