but it contemplates only measures to enable such
foreigners to possess Government owned property e .g.,
under long leases. Both sub-paragraphs represent the
attitude of the Government as being in conformity with
Shari'a law but, so far as I am av/are, that law as such
does not preclude any Moslem from acquiring property in
the Hejaz in full ownership. In any case, the communique
does not meet the difficulty of foreigners, who, being
Moslems, were allowed in the past to acquire property,
despite the provisions of the Ottoman lav; of lo67.
3. Sub-paragraph 3 of the communique deals with
properties owned by persons who, at the time of acquisition,
were Ottoman or Hashimite subjects and were therefore
entitled to own property, not only under the Shari'a but
under the former civil law. It holds out to the owners
a hope of favourable consideration of applications under
Article 11 of the recent regulations and this is prooa^ly
intended as a definite promise. It is not, however,
worded. Moreover, it does not set abide the ru ^ article 8,
which appears to limit the right of the foreign owner to the
full enjoyment of his property pending sale to a Saudi subject
or conversion into Wakf or the rulB in Article 11 itself that
a special tax of 15^ of the income from the property must ^e
paid during any period of grace allowed.
