Example sentence

أمّا إذا أتمَّ فريضةً بالتيمم ثم استمر وجودُ الماء بعد السلام، بَطَلَ تيممُه فلا يستبيح به نافلةً

If one completed an obligatory prayer with Tayammum and then water became available after the Salam, their Tayammum is void, and they cannot perform a voluntary prayer with it.

يَسْتَبِيحُ they cannot perform

A Form X verb — to 'count as lawful for oneself,' i.e. to perform on the strength of that purity. Negated: he may NOT do so. With the tayammum gone, he cannot use it to make a further prayer lawful.

More example sentences

ومن تيمم لنفلٍ لا يَستبيح به الفرضَ على المشهور،

One who performs Tayammum for a supererogatory prayer cannot perform an obligatory prayer with it according to the prevalent opinion.

يَسْتَبِيحُ perform

The 'count-as-lawful-for-oneself' verb again, negated: he may not, on this tayammum, perform what comes next. The intention was for the optional, so the obligatory is out of reach.

From When Earth Replaces Water

ويستبيح ما نواه من النفل

They can perform what they intended of the supererogatory.

وَيَسْتَبِيحُ and they can perform

The same 'count-as-lawful' verb, now affirmative — what he CAN do. Joined by 'and,' it completes the picture: barred from the obligatory, he may still perform what he actually intended, named next.

From When Earth Replaces Water

بَلْ كَيْفَ يَلِيقُ بِهِ أَنْ يُؤَيِّدَهُ وَيَنْصُرَهُ وَيُعْلِيَهُ وَيُظْهِرَهُ وَيُظْفِرَهُ بِأَهْلِ الْحَقِّ يَسْفِكُ دِمَاءَهُمْ وَيَسْتَبِيحُ أَمْوَالَهُمْ وَأَوْلَادَهُمْ وَنِسَاءَهُمْ قَائِلًا

Rather, how can it befit Him to support, aid, exalt, manifest, and empower him over the people of truth while he sheds their blood, justifying their wealth, children, and women, claiming:

وَيَسْتَبِيحُ and justifying

This joins 'and' to a present-tense verb on a 'seek/deem' pattern, 'he deems lawful', continuing the circumstance clause. Its subject is carried inside; the pattern conveys treating things as permissible. It governs the objects that follow.
