أجنبي

Ajnabi in the lexicon is a stranger, someone foreign in fact or in meaning. Jurists give no single definition; the word is read in each place by its context. ¹ Its senses include a relative with no kinship tie, and one outside a contract or other matter. ¹ A person with a relation to a matter becomes a stranger when the cause ends, when an obstacle arises, or by a judgement; for example, the divorced wife, the apostate spouse, and a ward held to be incompetent. ² When a person with a relation and a stranger are both present, the person with the relation has priority. ² A person who acts for another without authority is called a fudul, and jurists differ on whether his act is valid. ³
