قَذَرٌ

[As a simple subst., Uncleanness, dirt, or filth: and an unclean, a dirty, or a filthy, thing: plural أَقْذَارٌ:] also, dirt, or filth, which renders one legally impure: (Az, Msb:) قَاذُورَةٌ is likewise used in the sense of قَذَرٌ: (Msb:) and [hence] both these words also signify (tropical:) a foul action: (TA, for this meaning of قَذَرٌ, according to an explanation of its plural أَقْذَارٌ; and L, Msb, for the same meaning of قَاذُورَةٌ:) قَاذُورَةٌ is also explained as signifying adultery, or fornication, (Msb, K,) and the like: (Msb:) or this latter word signifies anything that is deemed foul (يُسْتَفْحَشُ), and that ought to be shunned, or avoided: (Mgh:) an offence for which a punishment such as is termed حَدٌّ is inflicted; such as adultery, or fornication, and drinking [wine or the like]: (IAth:) or foul action, and evil speech. (Khálid Ibn-Jembeh.) You say هُوَ يَتَنَزَّهُ عَنِ القَذَرِ, and القَاذُورَاتِ, (Msb,) and الأَقْذَارِ, (S,) [He shuns, avoids, or removes himself far from, that which is unclean, and unclean things, or foul conduct, and foul actions; preserves himself therefrom.] And الَّتِى نَهَى إِجْتَنِبُوا القَاذُووَرَاتِ اللّٰهُ عَنْهَا Shun ye, or avoid ye, the foul actions, such as adultery, or fornication, and the like, which God hath forbidden. (Msb.)
