الحقيقة: لفظ أريد به ما وضع له، كالأسد للحيوان المفترس، والصلاة للأركان المخصوصة.
Haqiqah is an expression used for the meaning for which it was assigned, such as asad for the predatory lion, and salah for the prescribed acts of ritual prayer.
The expression urida bihi (“what is intended by it”) matters. One must identify not only a word's established meaning but the meaning intended on the particular occasion. When they coincide, the usage is literal, or haqiqah.
