الإِطْلَاقِ absolutely

How it is used
Iṭlāq is the verbal noun of the causative Form IV verb أَطْلَقَ ("to loose, set free, let go"), as in loosing a she-camel from her cord or setting a captive free. The same root gives تَطْلِيق/طَلَاق for divorce, since a divorced wife is likewise "released" or "let go" from the marriage bond.
