Full Definition

شَرِيطَةٌ : see شَرْطٌ:
2 and see also شُرْطَةٌ, last sentence.

def.2 Also A she-camel having her ear slit: of the measure فَعِيلَةٌ in the sense of the measure مَفْعُولَةٌ.
2 And A sheep or goat having a slight scar made upon its throat, like the scarification of the cupper, without the severing of the [veins called] أَوْدَاج, and without making the blood to flow copiously: thus they used to do in the Time of Ignorance, cutting a little of the animal's throat, and then leaving it to die; and they considered it a lawful mode of slaughtering it; but the eating of such an animal is forbidden in a trad.: or one scarified on account of some disease; and when such died, they said that they had slaughtered it.
