افتضّهاVIII
He devirginated her: and so اقتضّها, with ق. [See also 1, second sentence.]
2 افتضّ المَآءَ He poured out, or forth, the water by little and little, successively: or he obtained the water at the time of its coming forth from the spring or from the clouds. [See also 1, near the end.]
3 افتضّتِ said of a woman, She broke [i. e. ended] her عِدَّة, meaning a widow's عدّة [during which she may not marry again, nor use perfumes &c., and] which is a period of four months and ten nights, but was before the Prophet's time a year: this she did by touching perfume, or by some other act, such as paring the nail, or plucking out the hair from the face: or she rubbed her body with [or against] a beast, i. e. an ass, or a sheep or goat, (O in art. حفش,) thereby to quit the state of the عدّة: or it was customary with them for her to wipe her قُبُل with a bird, and to throw it away; in consequence of which it hardly ever, or never, lived: she used to enter a حِفْش [or small tent], and wear the worst of her clothing until a year passed, when a beast or bird was brought to her, and by means thereof she broke her عدّة; then she went forth, and a بَعْرَة [or piece of camel's or similar dung] was given to her, and she threw it: (TA: [see 1 in art. بعر:]) she used not to wash herself, nor to touch water, nor to pare a nail, nor to pluck out hair from her face; then she would go forth, after the year, with the foulest aspect, and break her عدّة by means of a bird, wiping her قُبُل with it, and throwing it away. The verb, thus used, occurs in a trad., but, as some relate it, with ق and ب [i. e. saying تَقْبِضُ instead of تَفْتَضُّ]; and Az mentions that EshSháfi'ee related this trad. [in like manner] pronouncing the word with ق and ض, from القبض.
