Full Definition

مُرْجِىءٌ [act. part. n. of أَرْجَأَ], and مُرْجٍ [act. part. n. of أَرْجَى], (S, [in which, however, it is not clearly shown whether the author means that this corresponds to مُرْجِىءٌ or that it is a rel. n. corresponding to مُرْجِئِىٌّ, the former being certainly the case,]) or not thus, but مُرْجِىٌّ, so some say, but this is a rel. n. like مرْجِئِىٌّ, A man who is one of [the sect called] المُرْجِئَةُ and المُرْجِيَةُ, without teshdeed to the ى accord. to J, المُرْجِيَّةُ, with teshdeed, but this is incorrect, unless as meaning those who are called in relation to the مُرْجِيَة, for otherwise it is not allowable. The sect called the [and مُرْجِيَة] are [A sect of Muslim antinomians;] a sect of Muslims who assert that faith (الإِيمَان) consists in words without works; as though they postponed works to words; asserting that if they do not pray nor fast, their faith will save them: a sect who assert that disobedience, with faith, does not injure; and that obedience, with disbelief, does not profit: or a sect who do not pronounce judgment upon any one for aught in the present life, but defer judgment to the day of resurrection: those who decide not, against the committers of great sins, aught as to pardon or punishment; deferring the judgment respecting such sins to the day of resurrection. (Mgh in art. جهم.)
2 مُرْجِىءٌ is also applied to a she-camel, and a pregnant female [of any kind], as meaning Near to bringing forth; and so مُرْجِئَةٌ.
