dim. of عَهْرٌ: or,
accord. to
ISh, on the authority of Ru-beh, عَاهِرٌ signifies one who follows evil, whether by committing adultery or fornication, or by stealing: (
O,
TA:) or, as in the
L, whether by committing adultery or fornication, or by transgressing [in any other manner], or quitting the way of truth or justice, or forsaking the command of God; أَوْ فَاسِقًا being put in the

Msb,) nor any share in the child: (

A'Obeyd,
Mgh,
O,
Msb,) which means “ [he has, or shall have, or may he have,] disappointment,” (
Msb,) or “ nothing: ” (
Mgh,
O,
TA:) for some of the Arabs used to establish relationship arising from adultery or fornication; therefore the law annulled this: (
Msb:) some, however, explain it agreeably with the apparent [or literal] meaning, and for the adulterer, or fornicator, stoning. (
Mgh.) [See also art. حجر.]
