t-f-th

Description

The Arabic root تفث (t-f-th) appears in the Quran referring to the removal of bodily uncleanliness and the completion of rituals associated with the pilgrimage, particularly the acts that mark the transition out of the sacred state of ihram. The core meaning relates to fulfilling prescribed religious obligations and purifying oneself by performing necessary rites such as cutting hair, trimming nails, and other cleansing acts that conclude the hajj. In its Quranic context, it emphasizes the completion and proper fulfillment of devotional duties, signifying the worshipper's transition from a state of ritual restriction to one of permissibility after having honored their covenant with Allah.
