مُدْرَكٌ
1.
A place, and a time, of
إِدْرَاكٌ [i. e. attaining, reaching, overtaking, &c.]. (Msb.) Hence مَدَارِكُ الشَّرْعِ; (Mgh, Msb;) among which is included investigation of the law by means of reason and comparison; (Mgh;) i. e. The sources from which are sought the ordinances of the law; where one seeks for guidance by means of texts [of the Qur'an or the Sunneh] and by means of investigation by reason and comparison: (Msb:) the lawyers make the singular to be
مَدْرَكٌ; (Mgh, * Msb;) but there is no way of resolving this: (Msb:) correctly, by rule, it is مُدْرَكٌ; because the meaning intended is a place of
إِدْرَاك. (Mgh.)
