Al-Khatuniyya ( Arabic: الخاتونية) is a Mamluk Madrasa in Jerusalem, bordering the West side of the Haram esh-Sharif.
To the north is Al-Arghuniyya and Al-Muzhiriyya; to the east it borders Haram al Sharif. The entrance is a long, narrow passage from Tariq Bab Al−Hadid, between Al-Arghuniyya and Al-Muzhiriyya. To the south is 'Suq al-Qattanin'. [3]
The initial foundation was done in the Mamluk era, by 5 Rabi II 755/29 April 1354, by Oghul Khatun, daughter of Shams al-Din Muhammad b. Sayf al-Din, known as al-Qazaniyya, from Baghdad. [3] [4] Mujir al-Din noted that part of her endowment consisted of agricultural land known as "the Camel’s Back", which before his time had somewhat mysteriously changed its name to "the Camel’s Belly". [3] [4] In the court record for 897/1491-92 the waqf of Oghul Khatun is mentioned, and it is noted that the land "the Camel’s Belly" is located near Deir Jarir, [5] and that its yearly revenue was 3,800 aspers. [6]
The second endowment was done by Isfahan Shah, daughter of the Amir Qazan Shah, on Jumada II 782/late September 1380. [3] [4] [7] A later defter from 914/1508 confirms the properties given to Al-Khatuniyya by Isfahan Shah. [3]
According to Mujir al-Din, in the late Mamluk era Al-Khatuniyya served as the retirement residence of several former amirs who had been dismissed and sent into exile to Jerusalem. [8]
In the early Ottoman era the administration of Al-Khatuniyya was in the Ibn Jama‘a family. [8]
To the east, Al-Khatuniyya has a large hall, overlooking the al-Aqsa Mosque. This hall contains the tombs of several prominent persons, including Muhammad Ali al-Hindi, Musa Kazem al-Husseini, 'Abed al-Qader al-Husseini, Ahmad Hilmi 'Abed al-Baqi and Faisal al-Husseini. [9]
