Definition Tab

Tab according to Al-Qamus al-Fiqhi

The thing, in the form tayyiban: to become good and pure. To become generous and fine. To become pleasant. To become lawful. In the mighty Quran: [an-Nisa, 3: 'If you fear that you will not deal justly with the orphans, marry such women as seem good to you: two, three or four; but if you fear you will not be equitable, then only one, or what your right hands possess: that is nearer to avoiding injustice.']. His soul over a thing: to be resigned to it and find rest in it. Of their own accord (of a soul): to forgo it. In the glorious Book: [an-Nisa, 4: 'Give the women their dowers as a free gift; but if they please you of themselves to give up any part of it, consume it with ease and cheer.']. Ist a t a b a: to seek purification. To shave the pubic region. The thing: to find it and see it as good.
