كَالِيءٌ

(S, K) and ↓ كُلْأَةٌ (K) i. q. نَسِيْيءَةٌ, [apparently bearing both of the two significations immediately following, and clearly shown in the S &c. to bear the latter of them: A postponement, or delay, in the time of the payment of a debt, &c. See also نُسْأَةٌ, and كَلَأَ.

Also, both words, like نَسِيْيءَةٌ, A debt of which the payment is deferred by a creditor to a future period.] (S, K.)

Ex., نَهَى عَنِ الكَالِيءِ بِالكَالِيء, i. e., النَّسِيْيءَة بالنَّسِيْيءَة, He (Mohammad) forbade [exchanging] a debt to be paid at a future time for a similar debt. (S, TA.) [See the Jámi' es-Sagheer, and Mishkát el-Masábeeh, ii., 21.] What is forbidden by this is, a man's buying a thing on credit for a certain period, and, when the period of payment is come, and he finds not that wherewith to pay the debt, his saying, Sell it to me on credit for a further period, for something additional: whereupon he [thus] sells it to him: (TK:) or, a man's paying money for, wheat, or the like, to be given at a certain period, and, when the period comes, the debtor's saying, I have not wheat; etc.; but sell thou it to me on credit for a certain period. (AObeyd, Msb.) See أَجَلٌ.] كَالٍ is also used for كَالِيءٌ. (S.) [See an example voce نَاجِزٌ.] The plural of the latter is كوَالِيءُ. (TA.)

Also ↓ كُلُأَةٌ, Money paid at a period after the purchase, for food. (S.)

Also كَالِيءٌ and ↓ كُلْأَةٌ, An earnest, or money paid in advance. (K.)
