During the reign of Burji Mamluk in Egypt, confiscation of property by order of the sovereign, which had precedents in the Islamic world and Egypt before, entered a serious field in the political economy of Egypt, in a way that was a common phenomenon in the politics and economy of the Mamluk era. The property confiscation had different political and economic motives in this period; the present research has tried to study and explain the accounts related to confiscation in this era with a library and a descriptive-analytical method, with an emphasis on sources from the Mamluk era in order to answer the main question: What were the reasons and political and economic grounds for the confiscation of property in Egypt during the Burji Mamluk period?. This study examines an important part of the numerous and diverse reports related to confiscation in the Burji Mamluk era in order to explain the relationship of this economic phenomenon with the political atmosphere in the Mamluk era from the perspective of the complex relationships between the sultans, emirs, and Mamluk agents in a governance with a competitive rather than hereditary structure, and even to determine the impact of the macro-process of the world economy of that era, especially the European maritime trade between the East and the West via the Red Sea-Mediterranean and the coasts of Egypt, at a point in history when Egypt's economic power had declined due to various external and internal factors.
