Abstract. To readers attention is offered a small fragment  from the message of the Mufti of Crimea Musallaf  Efendi, which provides brief data of the state of vakuf  property of Muslim religious sites  for 1785–1786 , prepared by  the Qadies  (Judges)  of 5 kaymakans of  the Crimean Khanate: Bakhchisarai, Kezlev, Kefe, Akmesjit and Or-Kapu. The message of Mufti Efendi is presented in Arabic script in the Crimean Tatar language. Part of the message, translated from the Arabic script into Cyrilic  alphabet, includes a list of  recorded vakuf property belonging at that time  to Bakhchisarai: the political  and administrative center  of the Crimean Khanate. The given information makes it possible to establish the number and  names of administrative units of the city–mahalla,  the variety and location  of the vakuf property, recorded not only within  the city limits, but also outside it. The message also contains data on the funds, allocated to the minister of the city`s Muslim religious  buildings.
