قَذَرٌ : see 1.
2 [As a simple subst., Uncleanness, dirt, or filth: and an unclean, a dirty, or a filthy, thing: pl. أَقْذَارٌ:] also, dirt, or filth, which renders one legally impure: قَاذُورَةٌ is likewise used in the sense of قَذَرٌ: and [hence] both these words also signify a foul action: (TA, for this meaning of قَذَرٌ, accord. to an explanation of its pl. أَقْذَارٌ; and L, Msb, for the same meaning of قَاذُورَةٌ:) قَاذُورَةٌ is also explained as signifying adultery, or fornication, and the like: or this latter word signifies anything that is deemed foul (يُسْتَفْحَشُ), and that ought to be shunned, or avoided: an offence for which a punishment such as is termed حَدٌّ is inflicted; such as adultery, or fornication, and drinking [wine or the like]: or foul action, and evil speech. You say هُوَ يَتَنَزَّهُ عَنِ القَذَرِ, and , and الأَقْذَارِ, [He shuns, avoids, or removes himself far from, that which is unclean, and unclean things, or foul conduct, and foul actions; preserves himself therefrom.] And إِجْتَنِبُوا ٱلَّتِى نَهَى ٱللّٰهُ عَنْهَا Shun ye, or avoid ye, the foul actions, such as adultery, or fornication, and the like, which God hath forbidden.
