Example sentences

• وأما تفسيره للعلماء فجائز حسن والاجماع منعقد عليه فمن كان أهلا للتفسير جامعا للأدوات حتى التي يعرف بها معناه وغلب على ظنه المراد فسره

  As for interpretation by scholars, it is permissible and good, and consensus is established on it. Whoever is qualified for interpretation, possessing the necessary tools — including those by which its meaning is known — and the intended meaning is most likely in their view, then they may interpret it.

  فَجَائِزٌ — so permissible. The 'fa-' is the expected answer to 'as for': it ushers in the verdict — 'then it is permissible.' The adjective is the predicate (closing on -un), delivering the ruling on the fronted topic.

• أمّا الجمعُ بين فريضتين فليس بجائز

  As for combining two obligatory prayers, it is not permissible.

  بِجَائِزٍ — permissible. After 'is not,' the predicate often takes an extra 'bi-' for emphasis — 'is not, by any means, permissible.' The 'bi-' adds force to the denial; in the -i form, the word means 'allowable.' The verdict: combining two obligatory prayers under one tayammum is flatly impermissible.
