مُدْرَكٌ

Full Definition

مُدْرَكٌ A place, and a time, of إِدْرَاكٌ [i. e. attaining, reaching, overtaking, &c.]. Hence مَدَارِكُ الشَّرْعِ; among which is included investigation of the law by means of reason and comparison; i. e. The sources from which are sought the ordinances of the law; where one seeks for guidance by means of texts [of the Kur-án or the Sunneh] and by means of investigation by reason and comparison: the lawyers make the sing. to be مَدْرَكٌ ; but there is no way of resolving this: correctly, by rule, it is مُدْرَكٌ; because the meaning intended is a place of إِدْرَاك.
2 [Also pass. part. n. of 4.
3 And hence, Perceived by means of any of the senses; like مَحْسُوسٌ: and perceived by the intellect; thus opposed to مَحْسُوسٌ.]
