Root: وضح

Full Definition

مُوضِحَةٌ and وَاضِحَةٌ A wound by which the head or face is broken, that shows the whiteness of the bone: or, that removes the skin which is between the flesh and the bone: the only kind of شَجَّة for which retaliation is allowed: for [some] other kinds there are assigned mulets: and for this too is assigned a mulct, consisting of five camels: but a موضحة may also be in other parts than the head or face; and respecting this, a judge must give his sentence: pl. مَواَضِحُ. [See شَجَّةٌ.]
