Full Definition

تُعَاقِلُIII means The woman is on a par with the man to the third part of her bloodwit; she receives like as the man receives [up to that point]: i. e., [for instance,] his مُوضِحَة [or wound of the head for which the mulct is five camels] and her مُوضِحَة are equal; but when the portion reaches to the third of the bloodwit, her [portion of the] bloodwit is the half of that of the man: thus, for one of her fingers, ten camels are due to her, as in the case of the finger of the man; for two of her fingers, twenty camels; and for three of her fingers, thirty; but for four of her fingers, only twenty, because they exceed the third, therefore the portion is reduced to the half of what is due to the man: so accord. to Ibn-El-Museiyab: but Esh-Sháfi'ee and the people of El-Koofeh assign for the finger of the woman five camels, and for two of her fingers ten; and regard not the third part.

def.2 عَاقَلْتُهُ , Verbal.Noun of the former مُعَاقَلَةٌ, and Present.T of the latter ـُ and Verbal.Noun عَقْلٌ, means I vied, or contended, with him for superiority in عَقْل [or intelligence], and I surpassed him therein.
