1.2there is no removing, or clearing away, of this grief—فَرْجَةٍ مَا لِهٰذَا الغَمِّ مِنْ

Also a noun [or quasi-maṣdar] from فَرَجَ الغَمَّ, meaning the removal, or clearing away, of grief, or sorrow; or freedom from grief, or sorrow; or the same as رَاحَةٌ [that is, rest, repose, or ease; or the cessation of trouble, or inconvenience, and of toil, or fatigue; or freedom from these].

According to ISk, فَرْجَةٌ and فُرْجَةٌ, and according to Az فِرْجَةٌ also, mean the same as فَرَجٌ.

there is no removing, or clearing away, of this grief—فُرْجَةٍ
there is no removing, or clearing away, of this grief—فِرْجَةٍ
for every grief there is a removing, clearing away, or dispelling—لِكُلِّ غَمِّ فُرْجَةٌ

Or فَرْجَةٌ, of which فُرُوجٌ may be a plural (see form 7, in two places), means rest from grief, or mourning, or from disease; or freedom from difficulty, distress, or straitness, as also فُرْجَةٌ; or freedom from anxiety, as also فُرْجَةٌ and فِرْجَةٌ.

Or فَرْجَةٌ, with fetḥ, is a maṣdar [apparently of unity], and فُرْجَةٌ, with ḍamm, is a simple noun; or فَرْجَةٌ relates to an affair or event, and فُرْجَةٌ to a wall, and a door; but the two [primary] meanings are nearly the same.

The authority for the three forms of the word is taken by the author of the K from the statement cited above that one says مَا لِهٰذَا الغَمِّ مِنْ فَرْجَةٍ and فُرجَةٍ and فِرْجَةٍ.

Occurring in a tradition, and variously explained.

As used to say that it is with ح, and disapproved of the reading مفرج, with ج.

A'Obeyd says: I heard Mohammad Ibn-El-Hasan say that it is related with ح and with ج.

He who says مفرج, with ج, means a slain person found in a desert tract, not near a town or village, [a meaning mentioned in the K,] the fine for whose blood is to be paid from the government treasury.

AO says that it means one who becomes a Muslim and has no alliance of friendship with anyone [among the Muslims]; so that if he commits a crime, [such as maiming another,] the government treasury must make amends for it, because he has no relations or others bound to aid him by paying a bloodwit [or the like].

Or, according to Jábir El-Joafee, a man who is among a people to whom he does not belong, so that they are bound to pay a bloodwit [or the like] for him; or, according to IAar, one who has no kinsfolk, or near relations; or one who has no offspring; or one who has no wealth, or property.

It is also said to mean one burdened by the obligation to pay a bloodwit, or a ransom, or a debt that must be discharged; and [in like manner] مَفْرُوجٌ is said to mean one burdened with a debt. But it is correctly with ح [unpointed]: such a one is termed مُفْرَحْ, with ح; and مُفْرَجٌ means one burdened by his family, although he is not in debt.
