خُلْسَةٌ
1.
a subst. from خَلَسَهُ: (S, K:) [which may perhaps mean that it has the abstract sense of the verbal noun: and] A thing that is [seized, or carried off, by force; or taken at an opportunity, with deceit, guile, or circumvention; or ] taken hastily and openly; (Mgh;) or snatched at unawares: (Msb:) or spoil; plunder; booty; a thing taken by spoliation and force; as also
خَلِيسَةٌ; which last also signifies an animal that is snatched from a beast or bird of prey and dies before it has been legally slaughtered; in consequence of which it is forbidden [to be eaten]. (TA.) Hence, لَا قَطْعَ فِى الخُلْسَةِ [There shall be no amputation (of the right hand) in the case of a thing seized, or carried off, by force; &c.]. (Mgh, Msb.) [See also an example voce حُذَيَّا, in article حذى.]
