Al-tṣḥyḥ according to Dustur al-'Ulama (Al-Ahmadnagari)

To remove the sickness from the sick. With the scholars of inheritance: to remove the fraction between the shares and the heads. In another phrasing: to take the shares from the least possible number such that no fraction falls upon any heir, by making the fractional parts whole numbers without fraction: that is the meaning of the rectifying of fractions. When the reckoning issues from the least it does not issue from the greater: if it issues from three it does not issue from six.
