Full Definition

طِلْقُ :
2 and طِلْقُ الوَجْهِ: see طَلْقٌ.
3 طِلْقٌ signifies also Lawful, allowable, or free: or it signifies, or signifies also, مُطْلَقٌ , [i. e.] a thing unrestricted, i. e. any affair in which one has power, or authority, to act according to his own judgment or discretion or free will. One says, هٰذَا حَلَالٌ طِلْقٌ [This is lawful, &c., unrestricted; using the latter epithet as a corroborative]: and [in the contr. case] حَرَامٌ غِلْقٌ. And هُوَ لَكَ طِلْقًا [It is thine lawfully &c.]. And اِفْعَلْ هٰذَا طِلْقًا لَكَ Do thou this as a thing lawful &c. to thee. And أَعْطَيْتُهُ مِنْ طِلْقِ مَالِى I gave him of what was lawful &c., i. e. free to be disposed of by me, of my property: or of what was clear [from any claim or the like], and good, or lawful, of my property. And الخَيْلُ طِلْقٌ, occurring in a trad. as meaning Horses are allowable to be betted upon. And أَنْتَ طِلْقٌ مِنْ هٰذَا الأَمْرِ Thou art clear of this affair; quit of it, or irresponsible for it.
4 [In consequence of a misplacement in some copies of the K, several meanings belonging to طَلَقٌ are assigned to طِلْقٌ.]

def.2 See also طَلَقٌ, latter half.
