Recorded use
Wiktionary examplesThese source excerpts show how achour appears in context. They illustrate usage; the definition above remains the entry’s reference meaning.
Le prince Almohade Yacoub el-Mansour avait été le premier à percevoir les deux impôts coraniques, l’achour et le zekkat ; quant à la naïba c'est, en principe, un impôt supplémentaire, destiné à parer aux frais extraordinaires de la guerre, que les Almohades et les Mérinides avaient déjà commencé de percevoir.
Les anciens impôts coraniques de l’achour ou dîme sur les récoltes et du zekat représentant le 2,5% de la valeur des troupeaux avaient été supprimés dès 1901 et remplacés, en théorie seulement, par le tertib qui n'avait aucun caractère religieux.
