عُضْوَيْنِlimbs

Example sentences

• ولا يُشترط ترتيبٌ خاصٌّ في أخذِ الترابِ للعضوين؛ فلو ضَرَبَ يديه على الأرض، وأمكنه مسحُ الوجهِ بيمينه، ثم يَمينُه بيساره، جاز

  There is no specific order required for taking the dust for the limbs; if one strikes his hands on the ground, it is permissible to wipe the face with his right hand, then his right hand with his left.

  لِلْعُضْوَيْنِ — for the two limbs. The 'li-' marks the purpose — 'for the two limbs' — and the dual '-ayn' means exactly two: face and hands. The count rides inside the word; the freedom of order applies to taking dust for both.
