ذَوَّاقٌ

Root: ذوق

Full Definition

ذَوَّاقٌ That contracts new marriages time after time: quick in marrying and quick in divorcing: that conceives frequent disgust (مَلُولٌ, S, JM, and Har p. 569), not remaining [long] in one state with respect to marriage &c.: fem. with ة. Hence the saying, in a trad., إِنَّ ٱللّٰهَ لَا يُحِبُّ الذَّوَّاقِينَ وَلَا الذَّوَّقَاتِ [Verily God will not love those men who frequently contract new marriages, nor those women who do so].
