Root: شرط
Full Definition
شَرْطٌ
[A condition; a term; a stipulation; said to signify] the imposition of a thing as obligatory [upon a person], and the taking it upon oneself as such, in a sale and the like; [but this is a loose explanation, as is observed in the TK; the meaning being a thing imposed upon a person as obligatory, and taken upon oneself as such: in the S, it is merely said to be well known:] and
شَرِيطَةٌ signifies the same: pl. of the former, شُرُوطٌ: and of the latter, شَرَائِطُ. It is said in a trad., لَا يَجُوزُ
شَرْطَانِ فِى بَيْعٍ [Two conditions in a sale are not allowable]; as when one says, “ I sell to thee this garment, or piece of cloth, for ready money for a deenár, and on credit for two deenárs. ” And it is said in a prov., الشَّرْطُ أَمْلَكُ عَلَيْكَ أَمْ لَكَ The condition is most valid, or binding, [whether it be against thee or in thy favour:] (Mgh in art. ملك:) relating to the keeping of conditions between brothers. [شَرْطٌ also relates to other things beside sales and the like: for instance, you say, شَرْطُ المَصْدَرِ كَذَا وَكَذَا, meaning What is required to justify the application of the term
مصدر
is such a thing, and such a thing.]
