Full Definition
مِحْلَالٌ
A place, or a meadow (رَوْضَةٌ), and a land (أَرْضٌ), and a house (دَارٌ), (Mgh and Msb in art. اتى,) in which people alight, or descend and stop, or abide, much, or often; as also
مُحَلَّلٌ applied to a place: or chosen as a place of alighting, &c.: or, accord. to ISd, that makes [or invites] people to alight, &c., in it much, or often; because a word of the measure مِفْعَالٌ has only the meaning of an act. part. n.: and, as some say, a meadow and a land are only thus called if abounding with herbage wholesome to the cattle.
