(TA.) -A2- I. q. ↓ maforuwDN (A, Msb, K) [ Apportioned: appointed; made lawful, or allowable: and] a thing made obligatory, or binding, by God; (S, A, O, K;) for neglecting which one will be punished; like waAjibN ; accord. to EshSháfi'ee; (TA in art. wjb ;) because it has marks and limits; (S, O, TA;) said to be from the same word signifying “ a mark, ” because it inseparably pertains to a man, like a mark; (TA;) or, as some say, because it necessarily pertains to a man like as does the faroD , i. e. notch, to the arrow; (O, TA;) as also ↓ mufotaraDN : (TA:) pl. furuwDN .

(S, O.) [See also fariyDapN .] ― -b2- A statute, an ordinance, a command or prohibition, of the Apostle of God; syn. sun~apN . (IAar, O, K.)

EaTaA='N , (A,) or EaTiy~apN , (S, O, K,) assigned, or appointed. (S, O, K. *) In the copies of the K, mawosuwmap is put by mistake for marosuwmap . (TA.)
