Al-Munya
المُنية
Al-Munya is the body: the house beside the house, with its own entrance and the same arms. In Sicily it stands next to Al-Funduq as-Siqilli. It is a distinct subject, with its own estate.
Inside, two houses identical to those in Fez: Dar al-Bidaya, hospitality without charge; and Dar al-Diyafa, the paying guesthouse.
The two houses within
Dar al-Bidaya hosts without charge; the costs fall on Al-Munya. It is not An-Nudama lodging.
Dar al-Diyafa, the guesthouse, is carried by a distinct vehicle with its investors. It pays Al-Funduq a fixed annual sum, never a percentage of receipts, and has no voice in its deliberations. Any guest request may be refused.
An-Nudama names the ninety-nine founders: a distinct fund that finances the House. It is not a dwelling, and membership confers no right of admission to the House and no room in Al-Munya.
What does not change
Apprentices on trial sleep in the dormitories of the House, never in Al-Munya. The threshold rule, the separation of entrances and the fixed fee are the same as in Fez.
The Sicilian house is shown here: www.al-funduq.org. The order of the two seats is described on www.al-mithaq.org.
