Example sentences
وَأَرْسَلَتْ إِلَى عَمِّهَا عَمْرُو بْنِ أَسَدٍ لِيُزَوِّجَهَا فَحَضَرَ،
She sent to her uncle Amr ibn Asad to have him marry her, and he came.
لِيُزَوِّجَهَا — to have him marry her. The purpose-particle li- ('in order to') fused to a verb ('marry her off'), with the suffix '-ha' ('her') attached as object. The li- forces the verb into the subjunctive shape and marks the reason she sent for him: so that he would marry her off.
