What is meant by "al-walajah and al-kharajah"?
Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
"Kharrajah" is an intensive form of "khuruj" (going out), and "wallajah" is an intensive form of "wuluj" (entering). The meaning is that she goes out frequently and enters frequently. From this, there is an account attributed to Umar regarding the story of Moses and the daughters of the righteous man: "So she approached him, not being a brazen woman, neither 'kharrajah' nor 'wallajah,' with her garment covering her face."
